Google wouldn’t penalize socialspark users/advertisers because the links are all nofollow so search engines like google won’t be giving weight/pagerank to those links. socialspark also requires you to have a disclosure on the individual post indicating that it is sponsored.

I had started using ppp then switched to socialspark.. i only posted one article for ppp but my pagerank has dropped 2pts in the last 6 months.. I stopped using ppp thinking it may have contributed.

I agree that payperpost is dead. A part of me completely agrees with Google penalizing paying for links.

Google created this artificial market where people were paying inflated prices just to increase their pagerank. That never made much sense to me.

Don’t get me wrong. I am disappointed that my blogging career started too late to profit from it, but I can’t be mad at Google for ending the madness.

I’m curious to know what percent of sales were influenced by SEO and how that will impact SocialSpark.

I think you are probably right. i think they might be forced to kill off the payperpost brand. My guess is that they will do it however they need to handle it in the right way – ie. so that payperpost users migrate to their new network.

I’m eager to get a look at socialspark – from the screenshots etc you’ve posted it looks like an interesting concept.

Hi Jim

The problem is I have been given a penalty for writing posts that conform to what will be possible with SocialSpark.

Nofollow is only necessary with SocialSpark for advertiser specified links, and mine are editorial, just like Techcrunch class their post with 8 links and absolutely no content.

That post on Techcrunch is really blatant.
