The other day, one of my sponsored posts was rejected, not because I did the post incorrectly, but because of what I had before or after the sponsored post. I posted according to the "old rules", not knowing there had been a change in said rules. I know it was probably listed somewhere, but lets face it, I can't possibly manage to read everything. If I was to read everything posted to the PPP blog each day, and the PPP Forum, and what I need to for learning more about how to blog, and how to get more traffic to your blog, and how to use Word Press for my new blog, and... well, I would not have time to post anything to my blog. As it is I spend way too much time on the computer, and don't manage to read half of what I need to read to keep up with blogging. If you take into consideration how many hours per day I put in working my blogs since I started doing it for pay, compared to what I earn... well, we won't even go there. That's major digression, and I did not plan to go there.
When my post was rejected, I wrote a ticket to PPP asking why this had happened, and this is what they wrote back: Thanks for reaching out to us. While you are correct that prior to September 12th, these posts would have met our Terms, please keep in mind that our Terms of Service regarding Interim posts changed as of September 12th. The new Terms state, "Each PayPerPost post must be immediately preceded and immediately followed by at least one non-sponsored, original content post. 'Sponsored' posts apply to both PayPerPost Direct and Marketplace Opportunities, as well as other sponsored posts from competitive services. Interim posts must also be of a reasonable length, at least one paragraph, 3-5 sentences. " This means that the post immediately before and immediately after your PPP sponsored post must be an original non-sponsored post that is at least 3-5 sentences in length. As such, the Interim posts that you mentioned below no longer meet our Terms and these Interims will need to be expanded in order for these posts to be accepted.
To Be Continued....
