BlogsVertise Now FTC Compliant

Does Blogvertise only approves blog with PR 2+? I have read some article that mentioned that. But on the Blogvertise's page, there are no explanation about it.

This is interesting, I have tried blogsvertise and I earned $15 for a post, but they never knock my door again, I think they don't have much advertisers!

Thanks for sharing the info!

I don't intend to do a lot of paid posts - actually I refuse to. haha. But am interested to learn how to do it. ;) Thanks again for the tips!

It's is really hard to believe and almost incredible that a big company like Blogvertise would be advising clients to ignore and/or violate the new FTC regulations. I hope that no one is planning on using their bad advice as a defense. I don't think the FTC administrators will buy that defense.

Thanks for the tip about Socialspark. Great informative post!

i stopped doing paid posts since last year, and i haven't visited my accounts at PPP, smorty and blogsvertise for the last 6 months. i still think that most of the advertisers want only the links, and not the content of the reviews. but i hoped they changed. :)

Lols. OK. Here goes:
Daily unique visitor = 80 to 100
Pagerank 3
Alexa at 800k (7day average at around 300k)

Not quite impressive, but then again, I'm fairly new. hehehe.

I'm becoming increasingly interested in Paid posts nowadays. Hehe. I've never had one before - I advertise events and concerts for free for my friends. :p

How is it and what site do you recommend I sign up for?

I think it would be far better for them to clearly require compliance; if their instructions state that you are NOT to specify that this is a sponsored post, then THEY are in violation and I'm assuming they're based in the U.S.

As I recall, the guidelines required a good faith effort on the part of marketers to at least INSTRUCT bloggers to comply with the law. I believe that the new guidelines are just that - in and of themselves, they are not the law, but rather clarify existing law. So this is already in effect, as far as I know.

Hi, I love your tagline there about 50% technology, 50% personal & 100% entertainment :-)

Btw, I'm hosting a giveaway for $200 USD at http://boeyjoey.blogspot.com/2009/10/im-wishing-fo.... To win just paste a button, go check it out! :-)

My understanding is the blog ip determines the jurisdiction. An ip has a geo location so if you want to ignore the FTC, just go blog in another country :)

I've done a couple reviews with Blogsvertise since the release of the FTC law. At the end of both I inserted: "FTC Compliiance: Author was compensated for this review but unbiased."

Both reviews were approved and are set for payment.

I'm not defending Blogsvertise but they are a good income stream for me and they respected the FTC guideline in this case.

On a side note, don't you find it finny that a company with the word "Sponsored" in their title couldn't spell it right in the notes to it's publishers??? (sponsered) he he. I've never like Sponsored Posts because they've never offered me much work.

Good article!

Hm when you say "U.S bloggers" , does that mean a blogger who lives in the U.S or any blogger who blogs in a U.S webhost server?

I think I better have a read the FTC guidelines

Excellent article Justin. Which reminds me that "we" bloggers, have the power to influence sites, such as these two that you have mentioned, to comply with FTC guidelines by spreading the word just like you are doing. I think this is awesome.
