Hey Drumsnwhistles -- just for the record, I don't think you're a two-dollar whore :-) And I have no problem with your PayPerPost posts, because you disclosed the fact that you were being paid. That's what I was hoping PayPerPost would get all their bloggers to do, but they haven't.

Ditto to what Mathew said.
I do PayPerPost too (only I sold my soul for a lot more than $2. Heheh). But I always disclosed where I was taking money from. As long as you do too I don't have a problem with it.
But, this isn't really about credibility. The reason I'd be hiring PayPerPost is to get a great Google PageRank.

I think that may be my favorite post title...Ever. But don't think of yourself as cheap...value engineered sounds much better ;)

LOL, Lee -- I like that. I think I'll have to use that term sometime soon. :)

As long as you plainly disclose which posts are being paid for and which are not... then those who don't like reading paid-for blog entries can simply stop reading your blog if they desire.

nice post DnW!
Beyond demonstrating your quality, it highlights that the question is a personal one for each blogger to resolve with themself and their audience, not one that is PPP's to dictate.
The blogosphere is a world of many channels, not one big channel. Just as cable TV or ham radio provide a ton of channels, with each conveying its own message/content/ethics, every blogger is a media channel that needs to make decisions that work for its authors, advertisers and audiences.
Keep up the great blogging!

Thanks Dan, and welcome to the blog.
I am seeing at least the dawn of understanding among those who were so quick to call us whores -- that's a good thing.
As time goes on and the integrity of the system shows itself to be valid, I think the buzz will turn from positive to negative.
I do think that the more PPPosties who disclose, the better. I see that as nothing but good for everyone.
