Do you think Nike would be who Nike is without Michael Jordan.... and I'm sure he made more than a pretty penny out of that deal. There's nothing wrong with lending your credibility to something for a fee as long as it doesn't go against your values... that is, long term you're going to hurt your credibilty if you are endorsing crap. pay per host certainly isn't evil, it happens every day in every other media.

PayPerPost works by fooling readers into thinking the blogger is really interested in the product. If the reader isn't fooled, it doesn't work that well. And that's my problem with it. The basis of the marketing is deception. That's a step backwards for blogs. I wholeheartedly disagree.

I don't BS in what I write, and I do fully believe in what I wrote, and as I wrote, my biggest issue with what you guys are doing is the non disclosure side, you should really encourage your bloggers to disclose their posts, note though that I get you in terms of forcing this, I don't think you should, but I do think you should reward those that do. Having said all of that, I can remember when Jason Calacanis started Weblogs Inc. People pretty much wrote the same things about him as they are witting about PPP now. I'm not totally fond of your business model, but I wasn't of Calacanis' either when he first launched it. History shows that Calacanis was on a winner. I think that in a year or two PPP might hold the same position, even if it's not my own personal cup of tea. Thanks Ted.
