PayPerPost/IZEA to Roll out Long Awaited and Timely ” Argus” aka??
Payperpost may be rolling out their new metric for bloggers any day now. Things have really heated up since MANY bloggers who use payperpost ( sometimes called “posties” ) saw dramatic drops in their Google Page Rank this month- Google has been heavily penalizing sites it suspects of “selling page rank”; i.e., paid links without nofollow tags.
There has been talk of a new metrics for several months. Most advertisers and posties have been unhappy with the current system of rating a sites “worth” and how much a post on particular blog is worth. Sites with PR5 see offers of $20-50 per post of approx. 100 words, regardless of traffic and overall content. A similar site with PR2-3 may only be offered 5-10.00.
Alexa traffic rankings can also factor in but is primarily Google’s PR that sets the bar. Changes have been promised to desperate posties who have seen their income plummet.
