The face of internet advertising is changing. Blogging has become a very popular means of advertising through the use of personal reviews as well as blog advertising. Blog advertising can be on a pay per click, pay per X amount of impressions or pay per post basis. Pay per click is where a blogger gets paid for time a sponsored link is clicked on their blog.

Getting paid for the amount of impressions could be beneficial if you get a lot of traffic to your blog. Most of the programs that pay this way group impressions by multiples of 1000. That means your ads would need to be displayed 1000 times, or the set multiple of it, before you would be credited any money. Pay per post programs pay you based on each individual post you have that meets their guidelines. Most of these are contracted reviews in which you have signed up and agreed to complete within a certain time frame.

You might be wondering how this could be profitable since each of us only uses a certain number of products and at some point you could run out of things to write about. Well, that’s where pay per click and pay per impression advertising comes into play. When you sign up to get paid this way, the site you signed up with crawls your site periodically and picks up on keywords throughout each page you have the ads placed on. Ads that are relevant to that page are then automatically generated and placed on your site via the ad code you were provided by them.

Your readers then get to see ads for things that may interest them and when they click you are credited with money for it. Pay per impression crawls and generates ads in the same way, but when you get paid is different. It could be good to test each of these programs for a short while to see which one would be the most beneficial for you. You may have a lot of readers but none of them click, in that case pay per impression would work best for you.

On the other hand you may have a smaller amount of visitors but they are click happy. Whatever your particular situation is, it can’t hurt to try both ways and figure out which one is the most profitable for you. Get paid to post advertising usually requires you to sign up with a website that offers the opportunity.

If you Google for it, you are sure to find many of these sites each with its own requirements as to how old your blog must be, how many posts you must have, how often you must post, etc. You sign up and go through the approval process then once approved begin selecting which reviews you want to write. After you write the review per the specific guidelines mentioned when you requested it, you submit it and await approval.

The amount you are going to be paid is set before you request the assignment, so after the client you wrote for accepts it, your payment will be released into your account. Pay per post sites sometimes has minimums before you can cash out your earnings so be aware of that.

Most of these sites allow you to write as many reviews as you want so you can make money at your own pace. Pay per post advertising can be a review of any type of product for which there is a contract available. Basically a blogger can review anything they have ever purchased, continue to purchase regularly or intend to purchase and have been doing research on provided you can find a contract for it. Utilizing Pay per post and pay per click or pay per impression advertising there is no product that cannot be promoted through blog advertising.
