And IZEA Spoke Again - Shouting!

I just received an email from PayPerPost about another blog they approved before, where I also guest post (namreg.com). It was about their blog assessment again. It said that this blog does not meet their standards for overall quality and will no longer be able to be used for accepting marketplace opportunities. It felt like IZEA shouted at my ear.

Ironically this blog still has a Page Rank 4. It gave us lots of opportunities while it lasted. The bright side is payments currently pending will still be made so at least the earnings through this blog made it all worth the while because a blog having a high PR at PPP really brings in the bucks.

I, of course, thank my college friend who gave me the opportunity to guest post while he benefited from the traffic created by the blog's revival.

Well, so much for the opportunities at PPP - 2 blogs down, 5 to go.

And IZEA Has Spoken

First off, PayPerPost has responded to the support ticket I submitted regarding the blogs that had PR 0 in their system and they have updated my account as of last night. I was glad because the update was so obvious - I had 13 job opportunities available as compared to just one when my account was not updated. And I was able to grab two opportunities before going to bed last night.

But, the downside is I received an email from PPP regarding the blog assessment IZEA is having (they would extend that to Socialspark eventually) and, so far, one of my seven blogs approved at PPP didn't make to their cut. And the scary thing is IZEA's info says that if my blog fails the audit I will receive an email notification and will no longer be able to use that blog to take opportunities. I will still be paid for any outstanding posts that are currently in process and pass review. In addition to that, I will not be able to resubmit the blog for inclusion at this time. But if a blog passes the audit I will also receive an email letting me know I made the cut.

So right now 6 of my other blogs are left hanging, without any assurance that PPP would let them make the cut (I hope they do). It's a good thing I didn't put all my eggs in that basket.
