Paid Blogging or Review Could Harm Your Search Engine Ranking

Digital Inspiration has an interesting article on programs like Review Me and Pay-Per-Post. Programs like Review Me and Pay-Per-Post works by giving you a small amount of money requiring you to write a post about certain product by acting as the middle man. Profit are shared, 50-50. From what I’ve read, some reviews could fetch as much as USD100 per post.

Matt Cutts has given strong hints that participating in controversial programs like ReviewMe or PayPerPost, that pay bloggers for writing about advertiser’s product or services, may jeopardize the search engine rankings of your blog. - DI

My advise is, don’t sign up for such programs. No because of the possibility drop in search engine ranking but the idea of indirectly feeding your readers with unwanted advertisement/spam.
