"You may not know who Blogitive is. They don't get a lot of press, but they're a smaller, distant competitor of PayPerPost. If you're not familiar with that name, then you haven't been surfing the Web 2.0 blogosphere long.\u00A0 Chances are, you have heard of PPP before, and know that just about everyone considers them the most evil thing invented since cat juggling.\nSo if you like PayPerPost, you'll love the new offering from Blogitive, who just launched into private beta a service they're calling LinkNerve. In the paid posting world, you typically have to search the marketplace for offers that, while most likely don't come anywhere close to fitting the niche you blog in, at least are palatable enough for you to write fifty to one hundred words about. At places like PayPerPost, the payment amount can vary widely from a pittance to passable.\u00A0 At Blogitive, though, it's generally always $5.\nNow, with LinkNerve, they're making it easier for you to get your $5 a pop by creating a marketplace where those wishing to engage your readers and pagerank by actually seeking you out.\u00A0 The offers will still show up in a marketplace style fashion from the blogger side of things, but  LinkNerve lets advertisers search the blog pages that are already indexed in search engines.\nThe departure from the typical PayPerPost/Blogitive scheme is this: bloggers will not be required to write new posts or create new pages. Instead they'll only to link terms within their existing posts and get paid by the link.\nJust browsing over the functions of the system, I think from the perspective of folks that typically harshly criticize these sorts of things, this is a somewhat less 'evil' form of advertising (though I personally have my doubts as to whether the PayPerPost model was all that evil to begin with).\u00A0 Still, Google is bound to not be to fond of this, whether new blog posts are being written or not.\u00A0 It smacks of grey-hat SEO, something Google has been pretty adamant about shutting down for the last six months or so."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
