You could probably use the PayPerPost direct service, though it might be hard to attract advertisers for a new site.

I am a bit disappointed with the quality of advertisers through PPP of late. It seems plenty of movie advertisers are featured, plus several ads about The Police. I haven’t stuck the widget to my main blog yet, but I’ll consider doing so when the market heats up.

You are welcome to the link.

Whilst I don’t want to sound sexist, I certainly know who makes the majority of the purchasing decisions in my own household (yeah my wife).

I would actually question the demographics slightly as well. Whilst more men might have signed up, from what I have seen among posties the women (in general) are more active.

That could be partially due to the kind of opportunities available, though there are certainly a number of opportunities I could have written something about, I just didn’t have time, or I would just prefer someone else get some money.

It is strange in many ways, I am one of the biggest supporters of the PayPerPost business model, yet one of the lowest earners.
I don’t have to be making a lot of money from something to support it.

Hey Andy, thanks for the link.
Yeah, the whole mommy blogger thing gets on my nerves.
I’m a stay at home mom, a single mom at that, but I have just as much traffic as the “big guys” who are slamming mommy bloggers.
They don’t seem to realize that moms are the ideal way to market a product.
Why?
Because we ARE the consumers for our families, we ARE the ones who tell all of our friends and families if a product is good or not.
We have been doing word of mouth marketing since the dawn of time.
Those diapers any good? No, they suck.
Is that HDTV good, yes, it rock.
We buy and use more of the products that people sell more than any other sector.
There may be more men in the PPP system according tho those demographics, but the mommy bloggers are racking up the visits and hits.
Don’t count us out as having only a handful of visits a month at all.

PayPerPost Direct Directory didn’t work for me in a headline and the terms used by competitors is marketplace because you are selling something.

In some ways it is similar to why some of my posts have included PayPerPost with spaces between the syllables such as “Pay Per Post”.

I know the company name is PayPerPost, but I can rank easier for one than the other, and the version with spaces does get search traffic.

Yes it has been updated, though they are not being specific.

Google have a monopoly position for both search and monetization.

In many ways that “official” position is more FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) and not only affects paid posts and reviews, but what I want to create with my startup which I would class on the whiter side of grey.
I could possibly get investment despite Google, but it would always be tainted by the Google situation.
