Secondly, about 25 red flags shot off in my head over this. Among them:

1.) Hello, crappy pay.

2.) They're going to be making a ton of money if you agree to their terms. Because Google is punishing dead-end crap sites filled with dummy text and ads, those advertisers are turning to us -- legitimate bloggers with something to say. My NUMBER ONE rule regarding advertising is that advertisers will NOT influence what I say. Now, I may not be some ginormous mover and shaker, but if there is an advertisement on my website for that appliance I bought and hated? I will TELL YOU EXACTLY how much I hated it, and I will not censor myself, even if it means I get kicked out of an ad program. So. There.

3.) An advertiser wants me to sneakily incorporate their keywords into my post? No way, no how. I don't even know what those keywords might be! What if the keyphrases or words that would stick out like a sore thumb? On top of all of that... where are their links going to point? To legitimate stores? Or to the kind of websites Google will punish me for linking to?

A big round of NO THANKS on this one, folks.

I haven't done any Pay Per Post ads, but I did get accused once of running a PPP-type project when I told a would-be advertiser what my rates were for hawking their product. I do not have issues with anyone running their blog the way they want to. Those of you that run blogs wherein you accept PPP, hurrah for you. I personally think they tend to pay really poorly for this type of thing. Five dollars per post is well below minimum wage when to take into account how much time it takes to write a good review.

If you're going to look into PPP-type projects, you might want to create a subdomain or a second blog where you review products. That way, those of us who just want to catch up on how your kitchen remodel is going don't have to read a review about a product you maybe haven't even ever owned!
