UPDATE on May 2008,

Now I do paid posts again. I have made some new improvements such all the paid post won’t appear on the feed, so you will not even know if there is a paid post.

I give readers tips about make money online, how could I give you tips about to make money by writing reviews if I don’t do it by my self?

Now you got the answer

–

Yes, I quit from paid posts. From now, you will see no more paid posts, or sponsored posts, or sponsored reviews or whatever they call it! Not again! No more! Not on JackBook.Com!

Does it make money no more for me?

Actually Sponsored Posts have given me a really nice revenue monthly. November 2007, the first month I try to make money from this site. I made $430 that month. And from $430, I made $260 from the sponsored reviews. That is 60% of a total revenue.

What about December 2007? The next month after? Do I still make money from Sponsored Reviews? the answer is YES. I even made money much better then the previous month. I got some offers of sponsored reviews, here is one of the screenshot of SponsoredReviews offer.

That is $200 for one post. Yea, the money is so sweet. And I got about 6 review offers on December 2007. So it is not because sponsored reviews didn’t make money for me.

Why I quit? Should you quit too?

No, of course you don’t have to. I have my own reason which probably doesn’t make sense for you. Well, i guess each people have their own reason for this. but for me, this is my reason.

I quite from paid posts because..

Each time people buy a review from this site, I assume that they must be expecting for some amount of traffics, and probably affiliates from this site readers.

Let’s take an example, let’s say it’s a web hosting company.

If a web hosting company bought a paid reviews here on jackbook.com, they should expect to get some new customers from the site readers.

or let’s say it is an affiliates company, they must expect this site readers get interested to join their affiliate system.

And that become a problem for me. Somehow I just don’t feel right with my heart. I always be haunted by these questions

- what if there is no one care about that web hosting company?

- what if there is no one bought a web hosting there?

- what if there is no one care about that affiliate company?

- what if there is only one people join their affiliates?

I don’t think I deserve for that $200 for just a single post. I feel so guilty for this. And that makes me hard to sleep, and bother me so much.

Probably some of you will say like this

“Hey Jack, don’t worry about that, advertisers bought a review post from you is not for that reason. Most advertisers buy a review post because they want to have a backlink from a high quality site with a high pagerank like yours, so they can get a high pagerank too on the next pagerank update”

Yea, I know. Most advertisers buy a sponsored review because they want to collect backlinks from high pagerank sites, with their chosen anchor.

There! There is the another reason i quit. I don’t like people take control about what I should write, what I should link, what I should say, and basically what i should do here on my own site. Almost all advertisers request a chosen anchor for their links. I don’t like that. So this is the another reason for me.

So finally now here I am. If any of you had plan to buy a review post here on jackbook.com, sorry guys, I quit.
