That’s normal edos, I even took about more than 1 year to get my first Adsense checks. You need to learn and do some SEO work for your blog to increase the earning, SEO is what you must do to make money with Adsense.

I think paid post and paid review will be the same, but I separate them as “Paid post is from pay-per-post, sponsoredreviews and etc” while “Paid review is from direct advertiser”. Most of the paid post offer from pay-per-post requires you to use dofollow for the paid link, while the paid review which is from direct advertiser doesn’t require you to insert dofollow link because they just want to promote their products or sites.

This is my thought about paid post and paid review, but I think should be the same, this is just how I categorize them.

Oh, I forgot to say that now the poll is fixed I voted that money was a bonus.

I think there are two big factors in making money on the net, one is traffic and the other is a trust of your brand. I really believe that the one reason Darren Rowse does so well is because he has, over the years, developed a name for himself that people trust. If Darren says an affiliate is good then it must be so and so people rush to jump on the bandwagon. Even if they read the same thing on another blog Darren is more likely to get the sale.

Aren’t paid posts and paid reviews the same thing, just a different name? From what I understand Google does not like any paid link that passes on PR so anything that falls into that category is suspect. I reckon the only thing that could save your bacon is the nofollow tag but most advertisers specifically dictate they want dofollow for the task to be accepted.

I think Google is fine with Paid Reviews, as long as you don’t insert any dofollow link in the post, otherwise Google may penalize you and take down your Pagerank. I’ve done a few paid reviews for some sites but there is no dofollow link inserted into the post, it doesn’t have any problem, just do it Doug if you receive any great deal.

I got the poll working again, thanks! That was one of the plugins I deactivated when we were commentluv, and I didn’t turn of back on because I forgot about this poll

I have a Google related question for you. I have heard that Google does not like sites that do Paid Posts (as you mention), but how about Paid Reviews? Do they frown on that too?

Firstly your poll isn’t working any more.

OK, as to making money, two of my blogs are used extensively for doing paid posts. Naturally when Google found out I went from a PR4 to PR0, but unlike most people who go crawling up Google’s proverbial to get their PR back, I couldn’t be bothered as getting paid for the posts was so easy. Strangely enough, those two blogs collectively make as much adsense revenue as the rest of my blogs. Ironic wouldn’t you say?

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. As for your site, http://developerholic.com/, how does it work? Are those free theme for anyone to use? There is no “About” section, so I am not sure what the rules are.
