Izea has opened up the latest component of what will be known as SocialSpark today by opening IZEARanks.com to the general public.
Some key points:
IZEARanks is only open to Blogs, so the ranking is relative to other blogs.

My Problem With RealRank
Disclosure: As of this writing, I have blogs ranked 736, 2648, 3283 in RealRank.
By now, anyone reading this post is interested enough in such matters that they already know what RealRank is, and why Izea/PPP has developed it. So, I won’t regurgitate too much.
The formula for RealRank is 70% traffic, 20% incoming links, and 10% […]

PageRank vs. RealRank vs. Something Else?
So, I’ve been mute the past few days with regard to the latest monopolistic business practice by Google. To be honest, I was stunned that Google moved so dramatically against such a narrow segment of the blogosphere, ignoring the A-listers and their bogus “thanks to our sponsors” posts that provides SEO benefits to paying advertisers. […]

What is the big Izea?
Ok, it’s a lame headline. I admit it, I’m not at the top of my game today.
So, PPP has reorganized it’s brands. You can read all about it at this sweet ass site.
As I cruised the web for the last 24 hrs looking for reaction (beacuse I’m not at the top of my game and […]

Brand change in the works at PayPerPost
Ted Murphy at PayPerPost "let a cat out of the bag" with regard to Argus earlier this evening.
The singular “a cat” rather than absolute “the cat” version of the common metaphor was done purposely, of course, because the Argus bag has about 73 different cats tussling around in there, much like a full-bodied woman in a tight pair of jeans.

MySpace: The Pimp
Marketing Pilgrim points to reports that MySpace will start contextual advertising shortly.
Their platform, they can do what they want with it. Obviously, they’ve been running advertising campaigns for a long time anyway.
I just don’t understand why users don’t recognize that they are providing free content for these platforms, with no opportunity to share in the […]

RSS Summaries with RSS Brief
I haven’t seen anything out of PPP about this yet, probably because it’s still in Alpha, but The Blog Herald is linking to RSS Briefs by PPP. According to the RSS Briefs website, this is part of the Argus project at PPP. This was described to me during the focus group several months ago, but […]

Google’s Hypocrisy
Virtual Marketing Blog is reporting that Text-Link-Ads has been penalized by Google, dropping to 43 in the SERPs for their own name despite a PR 7 ranking, and points out Google’s hypocrisy on the issue of paid links in general and Text-Link-Ads Adsense spending specifically. Good stuff, especially since I’ve been waiting for this shoe […]

PayPerPost & Argus
Let’s get back to what we’re all here for, making money through the use of paid posts.
Ted Murphy at PPP wrote a rather extensive post on the PPP blog about Argus, the next-generation of PPP’s marketplace. I say "next-generation" rather than "next iteration" because Argus is truly revolutionary and disruptive, as Ted alludes to in […]

Captcha gone… well, not bad, so much, but funny
Man, if I were a 170 lb. woman person and got this captcha, I might be offended if this captcha came up for me on a PayPerPost opportunity.
But, I weigh WAY more than 170, so obviously it isn’t mean for me.
Just having a little fun, y’all. Captcha is a net-net "good thing", helping to […]
