The problem with sponsored posts is that most bloggers won’t take the opps unless they can write a positive review in the first place. You won’t see anything negative and the sponsors won’t pay for anything negative.

Yes, there are blog whores out there and thankfully they’re the minority.

I agree that there are bloggers out there who are more interested in making five dollars than interested in doing worthwhile reviews. I work with PayPerPost, mostly, and there are whole categories of opps I’d never, ever take – plastic surgery and payday lenders are the first that come to mind.

I believe strongly in disclosure and taking opps that mean something to me, not just “yeah, money” opps

@ The Olympic Blogger,

I don't think you got the point of my post. I'm not against sponsored post... but i'm against post that are:

1) Partial review of a product or service to the extent of creating fictitious claims. Designed solely to impress sponsors and sell their products.
2) Blogs / Bloggers who accommodate all sponsored review ultimately for monetary gain.
3. Non Disclosure of a sponsored post.

Like I've said in my post, Bloggers who do the above when they make sponsored post are lessening the credibility of reviews which in return discourages advertisers. Not to mention misled and disgruntled customers. FYI, I also do sponsored post.

I feel sorry about the way you feel about writing sponsored posts and consider it prostitution. I must tell you though not all bloggers who do sponsored posts are “blog whores” just out for money.

You must also realize that bloggers are also people who need a decent living to survive. I, for one, use the sponsored post payments to buy milk and feed my 1 month old child as my partner and I recently became unemployed. My sponsored posts is what is keeping us and my baby alive at this point. So if you think doing sponsored posts are bad, think of the honest people who use the small earnings they get just to survive.

I write posts for sponsors to earn a living and survive. It’s not fair for anybody to consider it as sinful.
