I just don't know how to react to this one. A while ago I wrote a stub on a pretty dodgy company called [[PayPerPost]] that pays bloggers to write nice things about advertisers' products. Today I notice some new text - mostly fairly positive about the company, but not too horrendous. The source is "willifordblog.com", and the (new) user is called Mwilliford - coincidence? Hmm...

So I go to his blog, and here's the first post, entitled: "I'm on wikipedia" -- today, my buddy Ted Murphy wrote in the payperpost blog about them not having much on their page on wikipedia so I logged in and edited the payperpost page. I'm pretty excited that I got something on there. Check it out:

PayPerPost is an advertising company that was started by Ted Murphy and was designed to connect advertisers with bloggers. It started out under the name BlogStar Network and quickly became one of the most talked about companies on the internet. After requiring disclosure following an FCC ruling, the company quickly became home to over 15,000 bloggers and big name advertisers such as Hewlett-Packard. In early March 2007, while still in Beta, they rolled out segmentation which let advertisers target specific blogs and let bloggers make more money. Some bloggers reported making over 100 dollars a day. PayPerPost spawned numerous companies that offered advertising on blogs such as ReviewMe, CreamAid, Blogitive, and Blogsvertise. None of these were able to offer the opportunities of PayPerPost or copy their number of bloggers. PayPerPost has forums with thousands of members that are very active and vocal and through these forums helped PayPerPost become what it has become. -- (that second paragraph is verbatim the text that he added, after my initial stubby sentence.)

I'm still giggling over this sentence, "I'm pretty excited that I got something on there."

Um, what to do next?
