Blog Advertising Store Review
Posted on | April 8, 2010 | 1 Comment
In the quest to find the best solution for getting targeted links in the blogsphere, I decided to try the services of blogadvertisingstore.com.
There were two hooks that got me.
1. I was able to specify multiple forms of backlinks that the bloggers would use.
2. The Commissions that Blogadvertising Store was going to draw from seemed rather small.
Taken direct from thier website, this is thier charges.
As you may know, many blog advertising companies charge advertiser 30-35%/order and there is also a campaign creation fee of $5-10. Other blog advertising companies don’t charge the advertisers but charge the bloggers offering them 65% from their income.
1. Our commission is ONLY 5% (other blog advertising companies will charge you for at least 20%). Using our system, an advertiser can save at least 15-20% from their blog advertising budget. Sounds good?
I actually did two campaigns with this company and the SEO benefits were significant. I was totally sold on thier service and was even telling friends about them.
Then I recieved an email from one of the bloggers.
I have tried to help your cause by promoting your website and your mission and all I asked was to be paid on time. Here is the post I have written for your company:
URL deletedI have gone out of my way to contact people from www.blogadvertisingstore.com (Paying Post). I have sent e-mails weekly and still no reply. Here are some links to what others are saying about their site. I guess they don’t have a good reputation. I have no other choice than to contact YOU (The Company) that I posted for directly since they aren’t paying me! I have also written a post promoting their site and if I don’t get paid, all my posts WILL be deleted and I will start blogging about how BAD the company is. This in return might hinder your success and I hate to do that. Will you please try contacting them as well. My payment is already a month late! Thank You- Sorry it has come to this.
This person also included the following link in the email which was really eye opening to me.
She included a couple other links as well, but this was the most informative. Evidently Blog Advertising Store has been gaining a reputation for taking money from the advertisers and only sometimes paying the bloggers. I soon paid her for the post that she did for me.
Conclusion – I need to find another solution for my pay per post needs. While this seeming scam is to my advantage as an advertiser, I would prefer to take my business to an establishment that works reputably for all parties involved.
I have been recomended to check out these three: PayPerPost, Blogsvertise, and IZEA. These three seem to have a better reputation among the bloggers.
