I just visited that site for the first time and watched the entire video. Although it's been released for quite a few months it's the first I've heard of it. I'm probably going to end up registering by the end of the day.

Ah! I was pretty confused with the concept of Advertiser Social Networking... I guess I have a vague idea now after reading your post. Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation. I have been wondering what is this all about. Read a bit here and there but still confused. Now you've summarized it so well and easily understood. Thanks a lot!

This is really good news for people with good amount of traffic to their blogs. For others like me, would have to start building traffic to the blogs. Thanks for the detailed preview.

Thanks for the great review. I look forward to working with Social Spark, which will make it better for those that Google threw under the bus with the PR junk.

Cheers

This looks different and promising.. maybe should gif it a try

But I noticed PPP paid my $$ yesterday where PayPal deducted the 3% transfer fees.. does it mean that PPP will start paying like this?

This would be a huge lost for publishers!

Lars-Christian, I was actually hoping for some placement advertising included as well, but that is probably not a major tweak, and easy to discuss and keep 100% ;)

It is certainly a case that not all advertisers are looking for the traffic and conversions. Some are just looking for the search engine benefit.
I am happy that they are moving away from the search engine benefit, it will make things a little easier.

In many ways I have been working this way all along

Ugh. Real rank based upon actual unique visitors?
That's often times as useless as PR, depending on your goals.

Anyone ever get their Digg stories on the front page with tons of visitors and virtually NO sign-ups, new customers, or any other MWR metric that really matters? Heck, every popular digg story is like that.

Some marketers are working on developing real stats for actionable "click-thru" and conversion rates.

Besides, if I'm paying for a PR8 post, then I'm paying for a PR8. Traffic is a by-product and assuming I'm a "smart" marketer, I've done my research and I'm looking at the long-term effects on "traffic" ie. better rankings.

But saying PR is useless is equally analogous to saying banner ads are useless. TOOLBAR PR is useless, but anyone who's using that as their only/main metric deserves to overspend their marketing budgets on failed techniques.

Great Review!

I've only started doing sponsored posts in the last couple of weeks but so far I find them to be a fantastic way to make money with your blog. We seem to be at the mercy of Google to an extent at the moment because of the influence of PageRank.

If this next, new thing helps to replace that, it may be a good thing. On the other hand I'll have to really concentrate on getting more visitors now!

Hey Andy!

This post of yours has me very excited about future possibilities. Innovative and well thought - both your post and the mission behind SocialSpark.com.

What do we need to do to twist Ted's arm so you can do more testing and reporting? I always appreciate your 'take' and 'review' on services - as I'm sure many others do as well.

Cheers! Laura
