Posties Paid $100 to Remove Links

Comfirmed by Joe of Pay Per Post / Izea: Some publishers are paying posties $100 to remove paid links. The discussion takes place on this thread.

Here’s an interesting tidbit: Several posties wouldn’t have been able to find the paid links to delete without the spread sheet provided in the request!

So, if your a postie, you might want to ask yourself: If someone offered me $100 to remove a link, could I find it?

How to make it easier to find your own paid links without publicizing your archive of paid posts.

  1. Place all sponsored posts in internal hidden categories.
    Do this by creating a “sponsored posts” category, then using “Hide Sponsored Categories Plugin” to prevent the category from showing in the main portion of your blog. You can create as many internal categories as you like, which will help with book keeping on your side and reduce the number of post you need to sift through to find the link you want to delete.
  2. Use WordPress’s built in search tool to find urls inside links.
    Which search tool? Where? Log into your Administrative area in wordpress, then click “Admin”. Near the top left, you’ll see “search”. You can enter searches like “thepaidlink.html”, then click “search”. Wordpress will return every post containing thepaidlink.html, even if string is contained inside a hyperlink. (If you’ve marked the post “sponsored”, you can be certain you are deleting the correct link! :) )

Interesting Lesson: Not being nice pays.

A nice postie who honored an earlier request writes:

well darn, if that is regarding the biz rate opp, I should have just left it and then I would be getting this $100 too now I guess, but NO, I removed it on the 1st email I received…lol

October’s Google fall out shows that it can be profitable for some posties to risk their page ranks and not delete paid posts. It can be even more profitable to refuse to remove them unless the advertiser pays! Hhhmmm….

    What is to become of us. (laughs). That’s the best earner I can think of. Cripple your blog under the new secret google penalties and then offer sites the opportunity to have links not added but taken down… hmm…

  6. Lucia says:

    I just got an offer for $30 bucks to change a link– but not through PPP.

  23. sandy says:

    I don’t know what a postie is, can you explain? I do blog for payperpost from time to time. Though it’s easy to know which posts they are, because they’re listed on my homepage at payperpost…so am not understanding why someone would not know what posts those were. And why would someone pay a blogger $100.00 to remove those posts or links there-in?

    I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your post.

    Happy New Year

    Sandy

  27. Manhattan says:

    Paying to remove links is a sleazy business practice. If I found out someone was doing that, I would stop using them.

  28. That’s a sleeze-bag!

  29. Vind says:

    Those people should be stopped right away.
    I can’t see the idea of building a business on ruining others businesses.
