I went across to Bloggerwave today to see whetehr there were any posting opportunities for the blogs I registered at the site (this blog does not carry paid posts). It has been a long time since I had any assignments for Bloggerwave – in fact, it was last December. Every time I checked since then there were no offers for blog reviews. Today there was a new posting opportunity, paying $10, for short posts on tow of my blogs. I quickly accepted them before they could be taken by other bloggers: there is always a limit on the budget so you need to act fast. But after taking them I found two problems with Bloggerwave paid posts. Firstly I noticed that the last five paid blog posts that I submitted in December had all been rejected. Nobody emailed me to say there was a problem, so I did not get the chance to put them right. All the other paid to blog sites notify authors if their assignment can be accepted, and I am very unhappy that I lost $50 as a result. When I started to write the latest two reviews I found the instructions were not clear. There are three links, two are images and one is a link to a URL. Next to each is a box where you click to copy them to your blog. In another box there is a list of ‘include words’. These need to be linked to the advertiser’s URL as well, so your finished posts could include four advertiser links, one illustration, one Bloggerwave image plus a tracking link that Bloggerwave uses to monitor the post. That last one goes to a 404 Not Found if you click it. All in all, pretty confusing: I suspect this is why my previous posts were rejected but it would have been nice to know!
