PPP going from bad to worse?

Postby cyber.don on Thu Nov 05, 2009 8:31 am

Mates, i've been on PPP v3 for nearly a year now, and i can see how horribly the opps have turned. a PR4 would get a minimum of $7-$10 opps and a PR3 around $5. Now i barely see a $1 in white/green!

whats happening? certainly not a transition period? if it goes this way, many including me are bound to leave PPP and look for the others! so what exactly is going on?

Where I doubt you'll find many on here who will disagree, there are a lot of people that will seemingly blog for a lot less than they used to. As long as that continues to be the case, I don't see a change.

There's nothing to ellaborate on. It is my opinion that there are people who will do opps for a fraction of the price that they used to. If that is the case, why raise the price when you can get people to work for less? Do I know that to be the case? Nope, it's an opinion.

well, okay with the low price, but think about the number of opportunities. previously, i used to see over 100 qualified opportunities for a PR4, now there are barely 30-40. there's definitely something that isn't coming out.

No offence, but it would be great if things are clear.

Remember the days when an opp drop would start and you'd get all excited, settle down in your chair and get ready for a mad hour while you try and reserve opps and then write them?

These days I just groan when they start (I know that Izea say they don't happen any more as opps are released throughout the day, but it's not what I experience as a user - there's what I would call on opp drop going on right now!) knowing that it's just going to be a new slew of $3 for a post about interacial chat or $2.50 for 300 words on some moving company on my PR 3 blog - and even if I wanted to take them I couldn't as opps are so rare and competition for them is so fierce you stand little chance of being able to grab them!

As long as PPP lets Indian bloggers into the marketplace, all these 50 cents and 1$ opps will be taken..
