Payperpost Direct

Well, I decided to drop by the payperpost website after 1 week of inactivity, and interestingly enough, there is something new there. The folks at PPP have done some cool updates with the services and more importantly they introduced something called Payperpost direct.

First what are the "upgrades"? The first feature i is Bans and Benches. Now users have the option to 'bench' each other. It means as a blogger i can bench advertisers who do not interest me (eg: insurance) so that way my interface remains clean.

Post Reservations is another issue, how many times have most of us spent time doing a nice post, then we get that "all opps have been taken" message..... well they solved it. Dun care how.

Finally they removed Technorati rankings from the system.

More importantly it is the introduction of PPP direct. Its a way for advertisers to directly approach the bloggers to make a paid post rather then though the PPP website. That way advertisers can request a specific kind of post for certain bloggers. In fact PPP is only there to help facilitate the transfer of money. What makes PPP direct different? Other services like ReviewMe charge 50-100% markup and keep up to half the money, PPP Direct only charges a 10% fee, 5% of which goes to transaction fees for PayPal and credit card processing. That just means the blogger gets a bigger cut. Also using the PPP widget on your blog makes the negotiation and payment process simple and easy as PPP handles all of that. So if you are interested, go take a look at PPP.
