Part of the Smorty Series - Previous in series
A couple days back I reported that Smorty was emailing me offers once again. Well, they emailed me two more offers today, despite my having quit and being told that I would be removed from the program for violating their (then unwritten) rules. In fact, there is still no requirement in their terms regarding the length of time a sponsored post must remain. 
Don’t believe they tacked in this new rule…

Despite my quitting Smorty and their threatening to kick me out of the program because I deleted old posts that they refused to pay me for, they’re still sending me email alerts about new blogging opportunities.

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-

The primary is that it gives me the greatest range of opportunities so that I can choose those that most fit my personality and the themes of this blog. PayPerPost had one infamous opportunity for vaginoplasty that payed very well, and was taken by many different posties.

Timing Is Everything When Being Paid To Blog
Posted on November 7, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | 6 Comments
Over the last two months a larger and larger portion of my online earning has come directly from sponsored blog posts at Philaahzophy. As a result I’ve focused more and more of my attention in that direction as well. When I first started doing paid blog posts I was focused on my site’s stats (Google PageRank, Alexa, Technorati, etc). From what I read around the blogosphere I was not alone in this.
