Recently there had been a lot of hoo ha in the local blogosphere about the drop of page rank due to Pay Per Post ads or other unknown reasons. I had never taken on PPP ads but strangely, my PR dropped from 3 to 2. Ah well.

Now that people are veering away from PPP ads for fear of further jeopardising their PR, I discovered Smorty is more selective in terms of advertisers and not on Google’s blacklist, which is a big plus point. So now you can get paid for blogging without being penalized in your page rank.

How it works is that after your site is approved after signing up, you get to view new opportunities for paid tasks. Once you accept a paid post, you simply read through the information provided and then you write an accurate and post of 150 words detailing the services offered at the site you visit–and you get paid for doing so.
