You can take your pick which are the relevant blogs for your blog. :-) pablo - I heard if you’re creating less than 20 ops, it’s better to offer PPP direct.

I created 5 opps. I had no referral traffic from all 5 blogs. And frankly, some of the entries are worse than crap! And these are all ang moh blogs.

My other blog is full of reviews but I do maintain a good ratio and the reviews there are almost all related to my blog's topic or niche if you like, so most of the time, I treat those reviews as part of my blog and not written solely for money. I too, have declined many assignments that goes too far out of topic. It is original and informative for those who likes to read about the topics that I am writing there. My reasoning is if I have two post that I have been paid to write but on different topics on the related niche, why can't I place them back to back? I won’t opt out totally, but I sure won’t be letting them dictate me too much.

Such advertisers do not want the integrity of their ads compromised cos they can and are willing to pay.

They could easily say that, "If you're not happy, you may opt out" because they knew that most won't voluntarily opt out.
