PayPerPost, the controversial ad network, had a round of updates a couple days back. Among other things, they introduced a new affiliate program for their members.

The original referral program paid members USD15.00 for each person referred who signed up as a postie. The referer was paid after the referee has had their first opportunity approved. Referrals were made via a button, much like the one you see below, which you should click and sign up for if you’ve never done so in your life :)

Anyway, the new affiliate program, codenamed Review My Post maintains the USD15.00 pay out. However, it is divided evenly between the referrer and the new member.

Basically, a PPP member has the option of placing a button at the bottom of their posts. Clicking that button will create a new opportunity for that specific blog post for the prospective postie. If you’re having problems doing the math, the opportunity is worth USD7.50.

Looking at it from a different perspective, YOU are paying the new postie USD7.50 to become a member and reviewing your post. How is that, you might ask? If you recruit a new member via the referral program, you get USD15.00. Via the new affiliate program, you pay half of that to the new member. In return, you get a nice little review and a link back. Fair? Well, it’s decent. It’s pretty smart, really. The new system prospectively rewards both parties.

It’s kinda like standing in front of a mall and handing out flyers where you get a small commision for every paying customer that comes in. You can stand there handing out flyers in hopes of pulling in customers and getting paid. OR you can take half your commision and indirectly pay the customers to come in by giving them a cash voucher. While the first option you’re paid more per hit, chances are you’ll get more hits employing the latter tactic.

You might be wondering whether you can abuse the system by getting your buddies to review your posts. Well, the catch is that the opportunity is only open to prospective non-members. Once they’ve signed up, the opportunity won’t appear again. In other words, it can only ever be done once for each blog. Of course, the blog should also qualify to become a postie as per normal PPP terms and conditions in the first place.

A sneaky way of swelling their ranks but an ingenius method nonetheless. Incidentally, you can “review my post” by clicking the button below. Yeah, I’m paying you to do it. Cheers.
