Blogging is a funny old business. I remember my great-great grandfather, who had been blogging all his life since before the Great War, saying to me: "Think carefully, Sonny-Jim, before becoming a blogger. 'Tis not for the faint-hearted."

How right he was. I've just had my personal blog accepted by PayPerPost and am keen to start posting for them. Unfortunately, I don't seem to qualify for any of the opportunities listed. I don't really know how to get started over there if my blog doesn't allow me to make use of any of the opportunities on offer.

And why would they accept a blog that doesn't qualify for their opportunities? Puzzled as I am I would be grateful for any suggestions from you blog veterans out there..

There are likely to be new opportunities posted soon that you will qualify for. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

And very sorry to hear about AHM. I hope you are able to keep it afloat.

I'll keep working on my page-ranking and that sort of malarkey, I suppose. As for AHM, it may well be an end of an era and pastures new..

I swear to you, I had a

I swear to you, I had a Payperpost post that I named this EXACT same title. It was on Bloggerparty, in fact (when they first started, they allowed posts on these type blogs). I had someone steal the pic from it too. I didn't mind that so much, but it's really strange to log onto someone else's blog and see a pic of your dining table there. lol

My husband is in the same boat. He has a financial blog on my site. I've got a few offers for that site because it's got a page rank of 1 (pretty new blog). But his was started after mine, and it's still got a 0. So he can't even take the $7 offers they roll out. And with one of my other ones, I've got a page rank of 3, and it opens up a lot. But the problem there is Alexa rank. I was lucky enough to get a $30 opp, and I had the right Alexa rank, but it wasn't the *right* Alexa rank. It was for the site, not my blog, which I hear is the way it is done. So even though I had the right score, it was denied. ARGH!

I've been doing PPP since about two days after they started. Just hang in there and get that page rank as high as possible, and Alexa score as low as possible. There will be times when you're making insane money and times when you wonder whether you should leave altogether.

IntricateGirl. It takes some looking into before you get things right, I suppose. It just seems a bit strange that they would accept my blog knowing that it doesn't qualify for any opportunities. Go figure..

If it was *just* accepted,

If it was *just* accepted, you'll need to wait a few days. There should be at least a few opps open then. When you first enter the blog, the stats are being entered into the system, and this can take about a week. Until then, there's not going to be anything you can take because they don't know whether you qualify yet, if that makes sense. For example, their system hasn't told them yet whether you have a page rank 10 or a page rank 0. So it doesn't allow you to take anything.

It is a bit strange.
