Comments on: Introducing: Paid Blog "Plugs" http://www.tylercruz.com/introducing-paid-blog-plugs/ The journal of a young web entrepreneur on his journey to wealth. Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:07:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: denied http://www.tylercruz.com/introducing-paid-blog-plugs/comment-page-1/#comment-4633 denied Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:22:52 +0000 http://www.tylercruz.com/introducing-paid-blog-plugs/#comment-4633 I think this is a terrible idea. Yeah you'll have the disclaimer at the top of the post but your blog will suffer because you readers want to read YOUR take on things - be it one of your case studies or a paid review. Markting is about delivering on the promise of a brand- if this is part of your journey to wealth - then so be it. But I think your brand essense is "honest opinions on stratgies and services" I just think you will turn some of your readers off. I think this is a terrible idea.

But then thinking things through, why would you keep the other service? I think it'd be best to choose one or the other. Otherwise advertisers may get confused and people may learn to just tune the reviews out altogether. This seems like a great idea.

What is the click through rate? If a person gets no clicks then the your price per targeted reader is no good. Most blogs allow a guest blogger to send them articles and allow them a few links for free. Maybe lower the price to $20-$30 and it would be an okay deal. I imagine you would get a whole lot more offers also. The idea is a good one but the price for just copy and pasting an article isn’t that good. .10 cents per targeted reader?
