Very good coverage Andy. Its really surprising that some of the popular bloggers are against the PayPerPost Idea but they write about the "Search Engine Love" in their advertisement section.

For PPP Posties: Its really important to setup alternative source of traffic instead of relying on Google.

Izea.

When I first saw the announcement in my email, I thought it was "Ikea."

As in "furniture".

I was disappointed to learn that they don't have any office chairs on sale this month.

The A-listers can go blow it out their fat hairy arses. I'm getting mighty tired of these uppity snobbish obnoxious elitist baboon snotbags dictating how the rest of us should blog.

I've really enjoyed this post. That's what I like to call a nicely wrapped crossblogs post.

Andy, thanks for reminding me -- I'd neglected to add the "nofollow" tag to links in the sidebar. I've done that now!

Nice write up Andy. I saw Colleen write up last evening, but didn't have anything in particular to say.

Given the large number of services, setting up a parent company as an umbrella makes sense. I don't see why that would need to be named after the largest sub-company. There are certainly advantages to having a separate name.

I also don't see how Read/Write web can be lovin' the idea of Shared Reviews and disliking PPP.

Am I misunderstanding, or does Shared REviews work like this:

Someone buys domains that already have backlinks for their old content.

That someone these puts new, entirely different, content on those pages. This new content has instant undeserved page rank from the old backlinks. Then, the owners monetize the new contents.

Sure, the new content may be better than stuff we see on splogs, but where, exactly is the brigh line ethical difference between:

a) A small business running a company on a fresh new domain, populating that domain with content, and then buying a link to increase rank and

b) SmartReviews buying domains equipped with now irrelevant links inbound links intended to point to the old content and populating that with content?

Oh well... If Smart Reviews is doing what it sounds like, I'm sure Google will figure this out. It's not that difficult to figure out the content on a domain is entirely and completely revised after the domain is purchased.
