SocialSpark has arrived!

Being a blogger who likes to earn a bit of money doing what he likes best, I have been using sites such as PayPerPost and others for a while now. I just love the fact that I am able to earn money by writing and posting on my various blogs. In many ways it just does not get any better than that. I love writing and I get to see a financial return for it. Who could ask for more?

And I enjoyed making use of the blogging services offered by PayPerPost, an Izea service. But now Izea have launched SocialSpark and this is a whole different ballgame. Already, in its infancy, SocialSpark seems as though it is going to be a paid blogging revolution all by itself. The site handles beautifully and is much more intuitive for bloggers to navigate around. And I think advertisers will like it as well considering the use of RealRank as a much more accurate way to gauge a blog’s popularity and rank. This seems to be the way to go. I have already been able to so a number of posts and I really like the way the new system works. When an opportunity is fully taken you can request a reservation for a slot to be made. You will then be notified when you can take the opportunity, which is a great way to work.

SocialSpark has a number of features which will be of interest to advertisers, bloggers and search engines alike. For instance, SocialSpark insists on a strict policy of full in-post disclosure for all sponsored posts. I think this is a wise policy and will avoid any confusion regarding any possibly conflict of interest. Also, there is a hundred percent transparency, meaning that every participant in SocialSpark is made viewable to the public. It will all be much more open and clear to see which bloggers are working with which advertisers and so on. And, of course, each link in SocialSpark automatically carries the "no-follow" attribute so as not to affect search engine rankings. I think SocialSpark is going to be a fantastic system for everyone. Great stuff!
