I'm pretty sure I'm not doing it right, but it's fun. I think of it as more of a writing exercise, as well as an opportunity for some directed babble.
Also, they pay you for sponsored posts. Which is nice, if you have readership. Again, think of it as a writing exercise only instead of getting a grade sometimes you get paid. Or get stuff. Or both! Which is cool. Also, SocialSpark can help you get traffic to your blog by trading posts (I write about you, you write about me!)
They have a very authoritative code of ethics as well. (It's better than the average lawyers, for one thing.... )
-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure - that means someone reads and approves posts before you (blogger) get paid. So no stupid spam posts full of garbage links.
-100% Transparency - that means that people know who you are (or at least who you tell them you are). You could lie, but that's your own risk of fraud.
-100% Real Opinions - real bloggers, real reviewers, real opinions.
-100% Search Engine Friendly - I really have no idea what that is supposed to mean. I guess no Googlebombs? Whatever.
This is the absurdly colorful page you see when you log in as a blogger. It lays out all the neat things you can do and opportunities you can take - if you sign up, be sure to check out the non-paying posts like the Blog-U-Backs and Sparks. Sure money is good, but sometimes exposure is better! Besides, the sponsored posts fill up so fast.... It's better to be doing something than nothing, right?
