Default Paid Blogging - would You do it?

Hi guys,

I'm pretty sure that most of you know about PayPerPost and other similar sites. For those who don't, PPP (pay per post) sites pay bloggers to post about their advertisers' products / services. This is commonly known as Sponsored Reviews.

IMO there are a couple of reasons why you should stay away from doing paid blogging. Here you can find some of them.

What about you? Do you do paid blogging? Why?

Share your experiences, people!

I offer paid reviews, but they aren't posted on the blog index, and I don't include anything the user wants except a back-link and a picture. I dunno that I would do like, paid product reviews or anything, I'm not quite that shallow.

Well there are people who do sponsored reviews about productos and / or services even if it's not related at all with their site's topic. It's shameless greedy :S

I suppose it would depend on why I'm being paid. I wouldn't necessarily want to do it to just review products. I like to write because I love writing and let out my creative juices so to speak. I suppose if I became a professional writer/blogger that became popular or famous, I would let advertisers use space (or something like that, if it works that way) and get paid that way. As long as I get my creative freedom, I might.
