Blogitive Still Doesn't 'Get It'

Blogitive considered by some as the country cousin to PayPerPost. I you don't know who they are, then you don't have a right to call yourself a pro blogger - you have a long way to go.

Blogitive launched the beta service called LinkNerve. Paid bloggers often In search the marketplace for offers that rarely fit their niche. The gurus can survive, but that is usually because they run their business like SUN media - buying up and managing more blogs than they can count.

The main down fall that has held Blogitive back is that their demands are high, and their payout is low, rarely more than $5. For someone who has worked for a year and actually knows how to get PR5 - how to get it - and have sweat the blood to prove it - $5 is the same as handing the valet at The Russian Tea Hose in New York a buck.

LinkNerve is creating a marketplace where those wishing to engage your readers and pagerank can find the bloggers. LinkNerve lets advertisers search blog.

Bloggers will not write new posts or create new pages. Instead they’ll add link terms within existing posts and get paid by the link. Sounds like they borrowed a few tricks from the pro bloggers. How many times have you written a post and kept it in draft. Then when a 'common theme' blog opportunity came up you just did a little rewriting, changed the date, and posted. (but of course we won't ever admit it.)

For those amateurs who believe that television, radio, magazines, newspapers, community newsletters, church bulletins, and street posts may advertise - but blogs cannot, LinkNerve will be a less intrusive method of advertising.

Just something else to annoy Google who believes (like a rapper withe the girls in their club) that all green backs on the Internet are 'owned' by members in their network.

Will Google rebel? Of course.

Will Bloggers care? Nope. They've proven with the introduction of WEB2.0 and WEB3.0 that if you try to harness the freedom of speech, they will just use your own tools to knock you down.

Will readers care? Nope. Most of the blogs in question have hundreds of thousands of readers, despite paid posts, and despite full disclosure clauses on the pages.

Will it work? I think it will work the way Blogitive wants it to work, as a tool to draw in the amateurs and virgin blogs.
