Bloggers that use PayPerPost got slammed by Google!

We have seen google trying to beat up Text Link Ads a while ago and now google is after a new target PayPerPost! Google is going after by reducing the PageRank of the popular blogs out there that uses PayPerPost as monetizing means. CEO of PayPerPost Ted Murphy has stated that many blogs already lost their PageRank to 0 from whatever they had previously.

It is no coincidence that Google has gone after some blogs that utilize PayPerPost and many of our competitors services. We offer a very attractive alternative to AdSense and are leading a charge to provide real monetization for everyday bloggers. Unlike the Google AdSense black box, we are palms up when it comes to revenue share and give bloggers the lions share of advertising dollars that they deserve.

He wondered as well why popular blogs like TechCrunch.com didn’t lose their PageRank for making sponsored posts.

I find it laughable that high profile bloggers like TechCrunch aren’t being penalized in the same way. Perhaps it’s the fact that they use AdSense. Perhaps it’s the fact that they are silicon valley insiders and are invited to special Google events. Either way I don’t see the difference between a sponsored post in our system or this sponsored post. Both are paid for, neither use no-follow.

TechCrunch also posted a reply on this here

I guess it’s the time for the advertisers to look for new ways to find good blogs other then looking at the PageRank of the blog because there are many blogs with a PR0 but very good amount of traffic.

    Didn’t “lose” their pagerank.
