Duty Bound Bloggers

It appears that the majority of EC droppers on this blog are connected with PPP, SocialSpark and many other paid to programs, which is fine with me because they are less judgmental when viewing your blog unless they are looking for some TOS to report their fellow bloggers for, which happens quite frequently or did when I viewed the forum awhile back.

That comment may irk some people that feel it’s their duty to report people that are not following the rules that they themselves are and they feel duty bound to help rid systems of cheaters so they can make more money themselves. I do not feel like it’s my duty to report anyone. Google has it’s community of snitches the same as all other programs. I do not feel like it’s my bound duty to oblige any company for whatever reason.

Last week I was very surprised to get a direct request from an advertiser to do a post for them especially since I don’t use the PPP direct widget. When you submit a blog to PPP you have to choose a price so I set it at 50 dollars. The company offered me 55 so I did it and it was an easy post. That’s fun when you can make easy money and I only had to wait a week to be paid instead of the usual 30 days.

As I mentioned before I make incidental money from my blogs, of course I would love to make more, but I do not want every other post to be an ad with only 3 or 4 sentences that don’t make sense added in between just so I can take the next ad, but if that doesn’t bother other people then it certainly doesn’t bother me how they run their blog and they probably really need that extra money.

I know people blog for their own reasons, but I really think the majority are hard pressed for cash and really want to make some money by blogging. Lately I have seen a trend from people that said they would never put advertising of any kind on their blogs doing just that. That must be very hard for the self righteous to do. I can only imagine the turmoil that these poor people must feel and how they can justify selling out is beyond me.

The 4th is almost upon us, my how time does fly. Kids are already popping firecrackers around here and it irritates my furry son no end. I wish everyone a safe weekend. I’m not sure how much I will be online in the next few weeks, but I’ll try and type a few post up so I can just pop them in. I don’t think many give a flying flip, so whatever. If I’m not here, I’m just not here.
