Actually, a note to Jason Calacanis, who I ordinarily agree with:
In response to your post/rant about what bloggers are saying about PayPerPost, I think you missed a few links. So I thought maybe it would be worth enlightening you.

The problem I have with PayPerPost is that they will not take a stand against deception. No one wants to be tricked--do you!??!
However, I would implore you to be 100% transparent about you blog posts that are really advertisements. You should put in the first sentence a clear statement:
"I am being paid by PayPerPost and INSERT-ADVERTISER-NAME-HERE to write this post."
If you do that I can live with it... however, I'm not happy about it because I think you're selling yourself short. It takes more time to build an audience and advertising base without covert marketing, but you'll have much more respect from your readers.
If you want that lens so much write more blog posts about photography and put google adsense up. Google adsense makes a lot of money from photography clicks!
best,
Jason

My PPP all disclose that they are paid posts, either via tagging them as PayPerPost posts, disclosure within the text of the post, or both.
Here's my problem with AdSense -- my metrics show that most of my readers read via RSS readers; therefore, few clicks into ads.
I'm actually considering PPP as an alternative fundraising model for our marching band and dance school sites, because the revenue derived from AdSense has been so dismal.
Yes, I do want the lens and I'm willing to earn it. Earn it, not sell my soul.
