BlogsVertise is another spin on the old paid to blog systems that sometimes you will either love or hate.

It is reasonably easy to set up within BlogsVertise. Just sign up and add your blogs. From experience, you really need to be adding blogs of PR3+, but PR2+ do also get some work.

Then they allocate your tasks and give you a week in which to complete the work. The instructions are a little vague, asking for 2 – 3 paragraphs, which seems rather small, although I did also find mention of a word count buried somewhere in the T&C one day.

They also ask for 3 links, unless otherwise specified. This is quite a high link to content ratio for 2 – 3 paragraphs!

Once completed, tell them your post’s URL and they then approve or decline it. Declined posts can be fixed, but most of my declines have been really stupid reasons, such as “The advertiser has changed their mind on keywords” and the best was “Your PageRank has dropped”. That excuse was given almost a month after submission and really annoyed me!

Payments are a little erratic. Each job comes with it’s own (random???) price. There’s no rhyme or reason to their pricing – this week I’ve had a PR2 post for 30% more than a PR3 post of the same size. Then a month after making the post it becomes eligible for payment. However, this is a manual process and can often be a week late and pretty random.

There is supposed to be a way of grabbing extra tasks by selecting one of the uncompleted (not enough bloggers took it up) tasks. When I first joined these appeared a couple of times per week and there was a good choice. However, I’ve just gone 2 months without any tasks from them at all, then 2 in 2 days.

Whether they themselves were struggling to find advertisers or whether the demographics required suddenly excluded my blogs I do not know. However, the posts that I did were completely off topic, but well paid.

Give it a try if you have a blog with a PageRank, but the offer price is supposed to increase as you prove your blogging quality, so you probably need to be fluent in English.
