SocialSpark and Blog Acceptance
I posted three blogs that were accepted by PayPerPost. Only 2 were accepted by SocialSpark. They are not interested in any blog that is not indexed. This is good, but I did find it confusing. I chose blogspot blogs even though I have private blogs. I wanted to create a review that would assist new bloggers who were just ‘getting started’ in the paid blogging world.
Blog #1: http://work-at-home-guru.blogspot.com/
The blog they say is not indexed is ‘verified’ by Google, and submitted to search engines using WEBCEO. When I use the WEBCEO index tool I get more than 70 pages up. When I go Google, Yahoo, MSN, I get at least 25 page indexed from each.
I thought that maybe the blog needed to be part of Alexa so I took a look. The blog is ranked around 8 million, but it is ranked. The site has 160 inbound links, and about 50 outbound. I contacted support who said they would take a second look at it. When they submitted it manually, they believed the site should be accepted. But, when resubmitted, the blog was rejected again.
Blog #2: http://socialspark.com/blogs/beautiful4ever-blogspot-com
I invested in a traffic campaign for this blog. It drove my RealRank up. I have been exploring RealRank for about five months and am pleased to find that it does work the way it says – unlike Google’s PageRank. There is no twisting the numbers and penalizing blogs for doing what they were created to do. An average of 30 – 50 unique visitors a day will increase a blog’s RealRank to above 2k. The RealRank system does not measure ‘just’ hits. The hits are only part of the mix. In fact, my blog remains consistent earning 30 – 50 hits a day, but my RealRank has increased daily for the last 10 days.
In the last month my visits, increases in repeat visitors, and unique hits has not touched my Google PR or my Alexa rank.
Blog #2 has 100 inbound links, and Google PR0. But, I’ve qualified for opportunities up to $15 on Social Spark. This blog rarely earns more than
Blog #3 http://work-at-home-freelancer.blogspot.com/
This is another PR0 blog that is fairly new. It has no ranking at all, but it is indexed. This blog was verified fairly quickly. The RealRank is 7000 or higher. The average page view of this blog is 2 a day. While this blog does qualify for SocialSpark – it does bring up the ‘sliding pay scale’ for Social Spark.
I will be submitting PR3 and PR4 blogspot blogs, then I will submit private domain blogs. I’ll be posting the ins-and-outs of each type of blog.
