johnchow.com — A new service call PayPerPost allow advertisers to buy a blog post ? often referred to as a paid plug. Instead of buying normal banner advertising, the advertiser would pay the blogger to write about their product or service. This of course raises many ethics and credibility issues. Is this the future of blogging?

I was pondering this very topic today as I drove my 2007 Honda Accord with automatic transmission and sun roof that I just bought this past weekend from Jimmy Johnson's Bay Side Mountain Honda for an astounding $1000 below invoice!

"You wont see me doing that..."No, you just spam digg with your blog. Probably filled with Adsense (couldn't be bothered to check).

Great comments by all.It’s encouraging to see so much support for PPP from those that understand trying to blog, covering their expenses and maybe clearing some spending money — while keeping their integrity intact. A marketplace of PPP’s magnitude must be guided by the mainstream bloggers rather than the elites and the numbers are on PPP’s side. So long as PPP continues to listen to the market and bring value to publishers, advertisers and audiences then the tipping point will come even quicker than it did for Overture. What a fun couple days!
