After all, I am a guest and I certainly do not want to be so rude as to never get another insertion order from an old friend and corporate ally. But, in light of Jim Durbin’s recent post I Am Not A Paid Shill where he chimes in on a discussion initiated by Joel Cheesman – and my own independence as a citizen-blogger - I had to think twice about what to write. I mean, I’m not an unpaid shill, am I? [...] [...] Bearing this in mind I had to be sensitive to the nature of the beast.

Clearly, initiatives like Cheez Ads and IndieKarma look to generate personal revenues off blogging and, as the old adage goes: "everyone has their price" - see: http://www.cheezhead.com/2006/04/20/penny-for-my-thoughts/. The more important question for me with PayPost would be: "How could "selling out" every generate the personal and financial rewards of monetizing something built on unbiased (not to be confused with opinionated perhaps) and original content? Also, unlike Cheez Ads where clearly he has a money-motive - and why not? -, I read Joel's post as a report of something new and not necessarily an approach he is, or is not, endorsing. What is your position, Joel? Are you going to do it? There are many who look to you for leadership in these matters. Where will you leadership take us? Amitai.

Any blogger who partakes in such an arrangement would loose credibility in my mind. The reason I read bloggers is that I want a nonbiased educated opinion from an industry expert.

Paying for bloggers to write positive posts is destined for failure, or the blogosphere is. If we assume everyone is getting paid, how do we know what an honest opinion is? PayPerPost.com should be renamed PaidShills.com. This turns my stomach. Paying for bloggers to write positive posts is destined for failure, or the blogosphere is.
