I just made a decision. I am taking out my Blogspot blog which has a PR3/10, Alexa less than 1M, 3 years old with over 1,000 posts from PayPerPost. I do see where Ted is coming from. I had a few discussion with him on the forum yesterday and the thread was eventually locked.
I know my blog Karma Kameleon is still a darn good blog, befitting PPP high standards. But I am not going to tie myself to the ruling of an interim post for every paid post even if they are not PPP’s opps.
So, I just send a ticket to Support and asked them to take my blog off from PPP. Sayonara, PPP. Now, I can whack 10 paid posts in a row without worrying about the big cane that PPP has in its hand and the monstrous Argus that looks like it is going to eat all our souls and dignity away. Anyway, I still have plenty of good blogs listed with PPP.
Yay! I am free! No one dictates how I blog.
BTW, I also removed a local ad which pays me handsomely because I cannot accommodate their request to make my blog margins smaller. Remember folks, don’t sell your soul to money. Sometimes, we have to diss advertisers and middlemen for our own self-esteem.

Do you have to request to be removed? as from what i see you can directly delete your blog listing right? hmmm

(September 6, 2007 - 5:28 pm)benny – I don’t see a delete button, only edit. Anyway, to be on the safe side, I got a ticket to prove that I am out of the system. I don’t want to kill my other blogs in case the reviewers come by.
wuching – You in OZ also feel the pinch hor? You don’t know I am PPP champion, on both sides. LOL, I champion for PPP and also champion for posties writing for PPP. Vote me for president! Sniggers.

vedis – 4th September. Becareful that you don’t have ANY paid posts back to back. Not even LL or anything like that because it is a cause for suspension. They can’t clarify what they constitute as paid posts cos many posties asked how are they to know if there are no disclosure. If say you post about my blog and give a link, is that a paid post?
