Socialspark: Three Types Advertising

Posts: The posts work in the same way as all posts – sort of. The entire system is designed to balance the number of bloggers looking for a post, and the price offered. The objective here is 100% on the advertiser’s side. The only ‘bonus’ the blogger receives is the ability to sign up to wait for that advertiser’s next campaign or release of posts.

When signing up for SocialSpark, use an email addy that accessed every day. The email states that you have 6 hours to finish the post. Many posters are finding that you have 12. That is fairly tight, and may be designed to give the advantage to pro bloggers.

You’ll still need to ‘haunt’ SocialSpark and catch the new opportunities as soon as they surface. There are not many yet. Hopefully the number will grow.

Sponsored: These are the pop-up boxes that appear when a website is first opened. The price fluctuates, but the blogger is paid daily. This type of format is optional, so no blogger has to stay away from SocialSpark because they fear the pop-ups.

I don’t think that the sponsored ops will cause problems for anyone but bloggers who buy traffic. I know that my traffic generating venue does not allow pop-ups.

Spark: This is one of the biggest bonuses. Sparks create a blogger network.

Bloggers can post their own ops to bring it to the attention of other bloggers. Some of the opportunities are BlogUback, which trades links. Some of them are just typical cyber-spam, but there are some great chances to earn some good back links.

This is a great way to get reviews of your blog in return for reviews of other blogs. The problem? Are these considered posts? Will the Advertisers consider them paid posts? If so, then they kind of lose their value. I have contacted support. I’ll post their answer shortly.

It is important to note that Sparks are unpaid. They are great for people to ‘learn the system’ and get into practice without risking a negative vote.
