More Segmentation Woes

I was going thru some crazy time of my life when I saw the new upcoming of Segmentation for people in the Blogging Community who write Paid Posts. As an advertiser, I am sure I want the best exposure for my money, but this is ridiculous.

Currently, PayPerPost segment the blogs by means of GENDER (which I feel is discriminatory), Interests, PageRank, Alexa Site Rankings, Technorati Authority (how popular you are) and Geo Location.

Geo Location is not that great to me, as I am located and based in the United States, but that does not mean my readers are from the US. Likewise. But having to impose the number of daily page view is really, to me , DISGUSTING.

Yes, they charge an arm and a leg for that, and for that they take a huge cut, of 20% of the fees, but does that really convert into real sales?? What is the CTR and EPM ratio does count too as an advertiser, and I feel, that with this resentment with the community (whom alot are too CHICKEN to admit it) they are just becoming just as how other hated companies go.

I am just sad that they have to go down this road. And the cronism… no wonder Single Mom withdrew herself from the Bloggers Choice Award. Don’t blame her.

Anyway, to those attending…have fun and those who think they are getting a free trip to PostieCon …. yeah… Great…have more fun in the air. At least someone is getting a home paid by paid blogging.

I give them an award for working hard. That’s all.
