I signed up with PayPerPost!
Inspired by Krystal, I have signed up with payperpost, a company that links bloggers with sponsors. From what I understand, there are offers based on Google PR and RealRank, and I can accept published, applicable opportunities. Then I write a post and get paid, via PayPal.
So I’m going to try it, just once in a while, and see what I, and you, readers, think. (Let me know if it’s annoying/interesting/something else.) I don’t want this site to become boring or uninteresting, and I don’t want it to seem overridden with advertising. I’m only going to try this.
When I originally started my blog, I never dreamed I’d use it for money-making purposes, both because I didn’t want to and because I didn’t think sponsors would be interested. Now that I have my own domain and have been blogging for more than a year, I think this is worth testing.
Also, it aligns with my financial goals, which I really should post about sometime soon:
1. It will bring in (small) additional income.
2. It will supplement my savings since I’ve decided, for now, that any PPP money will go directly to one form of savings or another.
Since this is, after all, a personal-finance blog, I feel I kind of have to say yes to an opportunity that does those two things.

I can selectively block (“AdBlock”) advertising images so I never see them, but unfortunately, I can’t block text. I can’t really say if it’s annoying yet until I see you do more of it. Are you trying to offset the costs of hosting your own blog with PayPerPost?
I’m really curious to see how this goes GG, let me know what your experience is with it. The good/bad/ugly.
SP: I didn’t know about that “AdBlock” thing–cool! As for my PPP idea, yes, it’s partly to offset hosting costs, I suppose. I mean, theoretically. I already have paid up for the year, so it’s not like a bill I have due right now.
WC: I’ll try to keep people posted. So far the biggest thing is that my PR is low because of the new domain.
