by allocating 50$ and say you pay 5$ per post

PPP= 5$+ 15$(taking by PPP) = 6-7 reviews

SR= 10 reviews

Its less if you take what you are “actually” paying the bloggers, but thats not how it works

The only difference is how they are structured. PPP lets you decide what to pay the blogger and then takes a cut on top of that. SP lets you decide what to pay in total and then takes a cut OUT of that. If you don't take that difference into consideration before preparing a campaign, then you are not comparing two equal campaigns. To be a fair comparison, you would have to take that into consideration. Making a $5.50 post at PPP is the same as making a $8.33 (approx) post at SP - it would get you the same number of reviews, for the same money, and pay the bloggers the same amount. If you want to pay $5.50 per post INCLUDING your cost, then you have to set your payout to the blogger lower on PPP, otherwise, you are not comparing two equal campaigns. I'm an advertiser, by the way:) but that’s the point – you could get the same number of reviews for the same money if it was a fair comparison. The only difference is how they are structured.

Yes, with SR you get to approve the blogs, which is really nice. Well im not looking at it as a blogger, just strictly the advertiser

For example: With PPP you technically paid $8.33 per post for 6 posts and PPP took their cut, giving the advertisers the rest. With Sponsored Reviews - you paid $5.50 per review but SR still got a cut, and the bloggers only get $3.75 or so. SO - in order to do a fair comparison, you need to do a listing that pays the BLOGGER the same amount on both sites - you would probably find that you actually end up paying about the same amount. When you look at the two examples above - they are not equal listings because that $5.50 on SP includes the SP fees that the bloggers DON'T get - so on PPP you are actually paying the bloggers more then you are on SP. To be fair, you would need to either up your SP price so bloggers get the $5.50 after fees, or lower your PPP post to $3.75 or so. What I do like about SP though is the ability to approve blogs BEFORE they post - with PPP, you don't have as much control over who posts your opp. I agree and disagree – the way your are comparing is not all together accurate.

Wasn't a PPP, it was an unpaid, but asked for post. I paid for a post as an advertiser not as the blogger, it hasn't been done yet. Hopefully it will be soon though. I admit to being terrible at there and their. I have actually written a post about it previously. The post with typo in it you are referring too. Wasn’t a PPP, it was an unpaid, but asked for post.

You would have got more for your money AND chosen what blogs got to do the posts. Why didn’t you try the PPP direct route Matt?

I think the potential to reach quite a few people is there even paying the amount you paid to PPP.
