The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this. »» Albert Einstein

PayPerPost Jumps On The Hypocrisy Bandwagon

Posted on November 27, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write, SEO | Leave a Comment

The war between Google and PayPerPost continues with bloggers continuing to be caught in the middle. I recently wrote about PPP’s new RealRank alternative to Google’s PageRank and also about Google’s latest hypocrisy. Today I came across what sure smells of hypocrisy from Izea’s Founder/CEO Ted Murphy-

RealRank was conceived and introduced before any of this PR upheaval. It wasn’t introduced because people lost their rank, it was introduced to solve an advertising problem. The problem is that PR and traffic have no…

Saying Goodbye To Smorty

Part of the Smorty Series - Previous in series Next in series

Earlier this week I wrote about Smorty Get[ting] On My Bad Side. Well, now they’ve gone too far and it’s time for us to part ways. They have two new “messages” posted on their control panel. The first is a (not so subtle) swipe at paid blogging pioneer Izea/PayPerPost-

There have been some recent changes that Google have made with regard to sponsored postings.
Smorty would like to offer…

Chugging Along Despite Being GoogleSmacked

Philaahzophy managed to find its way into another couple of blog carnivals in the last few days. You know, those nice, organic links, that Google claims to prize so much when determining PageRank.

The Take Charge of Your Health Care Carnival included my rant giving further evidence that the government should get out of health care - Applied Anarchy - Free Market Health Care
Like Lambs Leading Lions To The Slaughter found it’s way into
The Guru’s Movie Review Carnival #6

With those minor bumps…

Izea / PayPerPost Rolls Out RealRank

Posted on November 23, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write, Technology | Leave a Comment

After Google smacked the bulk of the Posties to a PageRank zero last week PPP announced that they were going to fast track the release of their PR replacement called RealRank. Unlike Google’s PR. RealRank tracks actual traffic based on a snippet of code that you place on your site. The first public rankings came out Wednesday morning at 2am EST, and they’re updated every 24 hours.

Essentially, bloggers will receive their actual ranking out of all the bloggers currently using the…

Google’s Latest Hypocrisy

Posted on November 20, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Technology | Leave a Comment

I was randomly surfing the web while killing some time at the auto dealership today waiting for Rover to get repaired and somehow found my way to The Official Google Blog where I read this (mostly boring) post from Rachel Whetstone, Director of Global Communications and Public Affairs. It included two whoppers, IMO-

At Google we have a bias in favor of people’s right to free expression in everything we do. We are driven by a belief that more information generally means…

Smorty Gets On My Bad Side

The other day I received the following email from Smorty (one of my “paid to write” companies)-
