I got an email this week about a new site where Bloggers are paid for reviews: it is called Paying Post.  Good news for bloggers, as opportunities have been thin on the ground lately.  BUT I am steering clear of sites that require you to put some hidden code on your blog in order to get their opportunities. The reason is that, a year ago, Google targeted sites that accepted paid blog entries, known as paid links, from PayPerPost.  These bloggers were accused of giving a share of their page rank to the site paying for a link, and they were traced using the code that was embedded in the blog as a requirement from PayPerPost. The payback was that Google removed the page rank from the blogs! So unfortunately I will not be signing up my best blogs for this service - it is just not worth the risk.

What a fantastic week for the future and the chances of world peace! Call me sentimental but the news of Barack Obama’s election reminded me of the morning in 1960 when my Mum woke me in the morning and told me that John F Kennedy was the new president of the States and this was positive for all of us.  Sadly, I also remember the night three years later when he was lost to the world.  I pray that Barack Obama has a chance to fulfil his potential and that he and his family are protected from extremists. With him as president we all have a greater chance of living in peace - roll on January, when we can see that last of the warmonger.
