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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.
