I was using SR and making some money just writing posts. Then I joined the referral program and in the first month, with only 3 bloggers, I got $15.
I was happy about that. Now I have 28 bloggers and 8 advertisers. Last payout would have been 08/28. My birthday, by the way. I was expecting to receive at least the same amount.
But I didn´t get any.
Now the next payout will be 09/25. I hope I get some money because it is not possible that at least one of those advertisers didn´t spend $100.
The problem with this system is that they are not as transparent as they should be.

Matthew,

Thanks for your quick response to my comment! Only time will tell when I’ll actually receive payment for my PPP referrals. Stay tuned.

With payperpost you only get paid for your affiliate when:

They get their blog approved, they do a post, and then have been paid for it. It takes forever to get approved and all that etc. Took me about a month to get an account for my girlfriend. It will be another month until her first post is paid out.

Some of the top PPP earners like Colleen etc, have dozens of “pending referrals” yet have only been paid for one or two.

thanks for the great comment

Matthew,

I’m not sure about the Sponsored Reviews affiliate program, since I don’t know very much about it; though I do know that I have one $5 payment pending for a blogger referral.

I’m curious, though, why you say that PayPerPost’s affiliate program is a joke. I have two $15 blogger referrals pending and have so far been paid $7.50 for one Review-My-Post referral, with a second pending.

I suppose it isn’t very likely that any $25 advertiser referrals will come through anytime soon, though. But, I don’t think the blogger referral compensation amounts are too bad, and the only downside is that you have to wait until 30 days after the referred blogger’s initial (approved) post to receive payment.

The greater problem that many PPP bloggers are facing right now is the fact that, as a result of Google’s apparent crackdown on paid posting, their page ranks have been dramatically slashed or totally negated, which drastically reduces the number and value of the PPP opps they qualify for. Because of this, PPP may soon become effectively obsolete for many bloggers.

I hear ya guys. Same deal here. Nice ranking, still bids just sit there. I haven’t even bothered to log in and bid on anything lately. I’m pretty tired of sifting through all the plastic surgery and casino crap that my buddy Mark griped about ;P

And yeh the referral system is lame. Very lame.

Holy cow! You know, back when SR first made it on the scene, I was so excited. That was when their advertisers actually responded to my bids. Today? I have about 21 bids pending approval with the oldest dating back to Oct. 13!!

My blog has a very nice ranking, and according to SR I can charge up to $500 for reviews. I don’t, but it’s nice to know the value of my posts. Now we have to sift through all the plastic surgery opps and casinos — ugh! Sounds like they need to clean house.
