Paid Blogging companies are popping up all over the place, some larger than others. We're taking an in-depth look at each one. We've looked at PayPerPost and Blogitive so far, this week we’ll be looking at Blogsvertise. Remember the "s" in there- it's BlogSvertise, not Blogvertise!
Blogsvertiseworks a little differently than the previous companies we’ve looked at, as Blogsvertise assigns work to you. There is not a marketplace where you go to find work. Blogsvertise tries to match the paid assignment called a "Task" to blogs they feel fit the criteria the advertiser is looking for. Blogsvertise sends you an email when they have an assignment or "task" for you, which tells you what they’d like you to write about, what words they’d like you to use for anchor text, and any other criteria they would like you to include. You have the options to accept or deny the task, but you must log in to your account at Blogsvertise to do so. If you choose to reject the task, a box comes up asking you why you felt it wasn’t a good fit. If you opt to decline the task, and just ignore the email, they will take that as you not being interested. They would rather you decline a task than ignore one.
When writing a blog entry for Blogsvertise, they also have a unique set of rules for you to follow. They would like you to write about the product or website, using the link and anchor word or words two to three times in your post. Their terms of service state they want 3 links, and the emails sent to you state 2 -3. I always use three, because it’s what the terms of service ask for. Your post must be at least 75 words long, and you can write whatever you want, as long as it relates to the product or service. You can add in personal experience, you can write about the site itself, or you can choose another way. The blog entry must stay on your blog; you may not remove it after you receive payment.
Blogsvertise accepts blogs a little earlier than the other companies we have spoken of. Blogsvertise will accept your blog after 60 days, as long as it is indexed. You may submit more than one blog with their system.
One of the newer things that Blogsvertise has started doing is something called a "Grab Bag" task. When you log into your account, if you look at your blog list, sometimes you will see a small money bag next to one of them. You can click on the money bag, and look at offers available to you. You can only do ONE Grab Bag daily, so if you see many offers, choose the one that suits your blog the best, and do that one for the day. You can check again the next day. If you choose to do more than one, they have the option to cancel your account.
When it comes to payment, they also make payment through PayPal. They don’t use any other payment option, so you must have a PayPal account to work with them. Blogsvertise pays you 30 days after the task is approved (not complete). They try to stay as close to the 30 days as possible, but don’t make payments on holidays or weekends.
Like the other companies, they look down upon copy and pasting either from the task given to you, or from the site you’re talking about. They want fresh, original content written in each post you do for them. One last note, the links must not have a no-follow tag on them. This is a big no-no for all the companies.

I hope you're enjoying the Paid Blogging series, and will join me again next week as I look at another Paid Blogging company.
