PayPerPost and SocialSpark
PayPerPost and SocialSpark, both are under the same umbrella (IZEA) but both have different ranking categories.
PayPerPost is the first blogger-advertiser marketplace that provided me some good opportunities to earn extra income. It’s one of the more known marketplace that everybody (well, every blogger who wants to earn money while blogging) knows. But it largely depends on the PageRank for its requirements for bloggers to be able to bid for tasks or opportunities. The problem with me is that I rarely have any website that has at least have a PR of 1. Want to know more about PageRank? Visit my blog entry about it.
SocialSpark is also part of IZEA wherein it is more of a networking site that also has blog opportunities for you to write tasks for advertisers. However, you can also add friends to your network, leave comments and build your profile (hence, social). The tasks here are wider and has a bigger scope considering that you can take opportunities that require you to post links of advertisers, sponsor reviews etc. The great thing about this is that it relies on RealRank as its basis which defies Google’s standards.
Now what’s the difference between RealRank and PageRank? I don’t know yet. hehe. All I know is that RealRank is more on the traffic while PageRank is more on Google’s way of looking the value of your site. I’ll probably research more about it so I can blog it next time. I’ll probably include the Alexa Rank with the entry next time.
Anyway, of PayPerPost and SocialSpark, I’ve been getting more tasks the past month of the latter since the PR of my sites really dropped to zero, that’s why I seldom have opporunities in the former. Nevertheless I’m happy that I’m getting some tasks to keep paying the bills.

i like PPP better than SS. Posties in SS are required to place a disclosure badge at the end of the post which makes it way too obvious for readers that i’m being paid to write that article. But SS pays better hehe! I get 5 dollars from PPP and up to 20 from SS.
nice post!

sterndal: i like SocialSpark mainly because of the paid opps that are bigger. hehe. thanks!
starlit: thanks.
I will have to investigate this RealRank thing. I hadn’t heard of it before but it would be nice to get a gauge of my blog success apart from PR… my PR fluctuates wildly, which doesn’t make sense, and I don’t understand why. On one website, it went from 2 to 0, and on another, it went from 1 to 0 to 2!

joy: indeed RealRank for me is better because it’s really hard for you to pull your page rank back up in Google if you’ve already been slapped by them. And the updates aren’t as frequent as Real Rank.
