Imagine if your every word could make you money. That's the great thing about a happening site on the web called Pay Per Post. Yes, we like cash! So should you! By telling you how great Pay Per Post is, they're paying me. If you're a blogger, you should check it out yourself.

Pay Per Post will pay you to review products, services or even chat about the latest and greatest thing out there.

And I slept in my lime green pay-to-play the LA Way shirt last night.

So you will be accepting advertising money for this blog and this is something new, right? Or at least different than what you have been doing in the past?

If I have that correct, then if we notice a conflict of interest ourselves and we turn it in to you, then what happens?

I'm saddened by this news. I thought that this was supposed to be open speech, not speech which is influenced by money.

So much for Mayor Sam. I'll assume that this dissenting comment gets to stay, or are you going to bounce it?

"That content, advertising space or post may not always be identified as paid or sponsored content."

That's an incredible statement for a site that criticizes newspapers and political advertising. You guys were always a tool for pols.

FYI, I have never received any money for writing anything at Mayor Sam. I'd be perfectly willing to, but I have not. A car, sure; I got a car for one article, but no money. Well, unless you count Euros, but that money didn't even go into an American account, so that's technically not "me" receiving money. And the fee office space is hardly worth mentioning.

I meant "free," not "fee," though "fee" is a perfectly good real estate term.

Sorry, Walter. You work in a whorehouse, people are going to think you're a whore.

Newspaper, television and radio stations accept advertising to pay the writers, reporters and hosts.

If someone feels a blog is an effective medium to reach their target audience, why is it wrong for this or any blog to accept advertising?

Read the disclosure 10:42. Nobody has a problem with advertising. The problem is with unidentified paid "content.'

Who cares if something is paid "content" or not? Dosen't a story speak for itself. The reader can agree or disagree. If paid content means the writer is compromised then they will lose credibility and the people will see through it as in the case of L.A. Times. If someone wants to pay for a story about why voters should approve a bond or why voters should vote no on a certain issue that's fine with me because there are always two sides to every story, always an opposing view and I'm smart enough to draw my own conclusions.
