It seems as though many bloggers find sponsored postings and compensated insertions bad. I could understand a blog being pretty annoying if every other post was a sponsored article; but what if that person was just making some extra money? That is exactly what I plan on doing.

I’ve never been one to really get too big into the monetization of my personal website; party because I did not want to fill the site up with advertisements or any text-link-ads. However, over time, I have slowly realized that this is not so bad after all. I can still maintain my pretty little design template while placing a few ads here and there.

PayPerPost.com has really stepped into the market place and allowed a pretty plentiful amount of organizations and individuals to get their name onto some large blogs. The only flaw I have with Pay per post’s setup is the disclosure policy they have for word of mouth ethics. I believe that blogging is pretty much like the movie and entertainment industry. Everything is exposure, everything is compensated, everything is an advertisement. That is why Google gives away free t-shirts and Camel free cigarettes at bars. What I just did, without compensation advertised for Budweiser and Camel. At the same time, maybe I was some how compensated — over time — through other mediums.

It is the same concepts towards sponsored postings. I’m only going to mention something if I am going to benefit some how. I mean.. mostly. I’m not going benefit from linking my viewers to my buddies photo gallery or business he or she just started; but I will benefit slightly.. I post a link, my friend is happy — my compensation is making my friend happy..

However, all in all — Payperpost is pretty slick! If nothing else, I plan on using it to make some extra money here and there.. not to mention you, my viewers will get some extra reading materials!

But I do hate the disclosure images!!
