Performancing Goes PayPerPost

PayPerPost announces the purchase of Performancing, and Performancing announces their partial acquisition by PayPerPost. All these bits and parts add up to a lot of pieces that when put together will make PayPerPost a much stronger company.The paid to post blogging model of advertising is proving to be an amazing way of spreading the word about … well, about anything and everything. It’s no wonder that PayPerPost is stretching it’s reach to include much of Performancing.

So, what parts didn’t PayPerPost buy?

According to Nick Wilson of Performancing, the purchase does not include their Partners Ad Network, nor their PFF.

What it does include is the Performancing Metric technology, the domain name Performancing.com, and the Performancing Exchange technologies.

The chat amongst the blogging community is mixed as always. It’s controversy and we bloggers live for these moments. Some are delighted that PPP will now have the type of metrics that will afford them huge amounts of blog statistics, and that’s what Marketing professionals live for. Others see any chumming by Performancing with PPP to be beyond their grasp to comprehend. But when the dust settles, what we now know as Performancing will be moving over to PPP. PayPerPost’s bloggers will now be able to track visitor stats and monitor AdSense auditing for their blogs.

The parts of Performancing not sold will find a new domain and brand identity … also something Marketing professionals live for.

Let’s face it guys, the landscape of blog advertising has changed forever. The world of professional blogging has just expanded by another 28,000 bloggers.

800 Numbers Free To Bloggers

I received a challenge, a paid challenge no less, from TollFreeNumbers.com to try out their services and review their website on our blog. I don’t normally take up such challenges, but they gave us a free toll free number too and well, when they said they’d backlink back to the Affiliate Guild … that’s too good to pass up.TollFreeNumbers.com finds businesses Toll Free 800 Numbers and even tries to find them numbers that spell out words.My challenge was to find myself an 800 number using their online lookup tools system and then, activate it.Toll Free numbers valid in the U.S. and Canada onlyIn using the TollFreeNumbers lookup tool, I found it to be easy to use and quick to respond (I’m on DSL). After the first four attempts to find a phone number, it prompted me to email me some other possibilities for the names I’d chosen.

Where I got a little confused was how do I get one of those long numbers that says it all like the ones in thier testimonials? So, I clicked the “tips” button on the lookup tool.

What I found was a nice creative suggestions page, and what I didn’t know is that you’re not limited to seven digits. Well, you are, but the advice is to think longer if need be. The person calling your 800 number will push in all the needed numbers and few more … the result will be the same … your 800 line will ring!

I spent about an hour of my time playing with different word combinations to match the overall theme of my businesses and the one I decided upon was 888-SEO-WRITER … that pretty much sums up what I do for a living really. I writer highly targeted content for affiliate niche websites, blogs and more. Need a writer? Now, you can contact me!

You can get a free eBook from them too called Phone Numbers That Make Money.

For a limited time, 800 numbers are free to bloggers.

Reminders Calendar Helps Affiliates

American Greetings has come out with a new product for their affiliates to market. It’s an online calendar system that helps the user to remember important dates … dates that they might want to send an email greeting for.

The online calendar is a free service provided to their customers as an added value. Promotional services like that are always helpful to affiliates looking for new marketing angles.

And, one feature that I thought was very cool was that the calendar can send you reminders by text messaging your cell phone. No more forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, and special days. I don’t about you, but that free service would help keep me out of trouble!

The AmericanGreetings.com affiliate program pays a nice 40%-60% commission rate payout for every new subscription. The parent company also owns BlueMountain.com, which is where I have my account, and they offer a combined affiliate program. So, you can promote both services and get paid as one combined affiliate program. That means payouts more often for the affiliates!

Full Disclosure - The Full Montey

I was reading a very interesting article on TechCrunch tonight and thought it was news worthy, and when I saw that PayPerPost was offering me a few bucks to chat about this article that didn’t hurt either. Always nice to get paid for chatting about things I enjoy chatting about.The article is titled “PayPerPost Does Something Right” and it’s referring to the PayPerPost blog.The article is leaking the news that this coming Monday, PayPerPost will be making a significant policy change … and according to Michael Arrington it’s a positive change.

Even more so, I whole heartedly agree with the soon to be announced change.

As of Monday, bloggers who write for PayPerPost will be required to disclose that they are being paid for their posts.

I’ve started to blog about this topic a little when I wrote A Few Posts Here and There, and not because I knew change was coming. I didn’t. I think it’s the ethical thing to do. I think that when a blogger is earning some income through using their posts to feature advertisers, then they should disclose it. We’re kind of the Paul Harvey’s of the blogging world if we don’t make that distinction.

This move by PayPerPost is most likely related to the FTC’s moves to force disclosure of word-of-mouth advertisements.

I actually think a Disclosure Policy is and should be in the making for every blog that runs advertisements on them … and I mean every blog.
