Seriously, I am very happy right now. The reason? PayPerPost will hopefully be paying me $50 for this one post! Pretty good, as the cat litter incident from yesterday (see about three posts previously) meant I missed the chance to grab an opportunity paying the same amount. So why are PayPerPost willing to pay so much for just one post? Simple, today is WorldWideWednesday. This is the day that PPP keep non-American bloggers happy, by allowing them a chance at earning a nice lump sum. Yesterday’s 1K Tuesday is open to all bloggers, but as some of the normal opportunities are only open to residents of the USA, International Wednesday was created to keep the rest of us happy, and probably has helped to encourage more bloggers to sign up.
Since April, when I first joined PPP, there have been a number of small revisions to PPP’s system, in an attempt to find a way to keep the process simple, secure against cheaters, and to ensure advertiser’s get the best ROI possible. ‘Argus’ is the codename for a major overhaul that PPP are planning to release very soon. Many bloggers are looking forward to the changes, and there has been much speculation as to what exactly the changes will introduce to us. One thing that really sounds good is the use of PPP’s servers to collect TRULY accurate data on visitors to each person’s blog, such as the volume, and more importantly for me, the location of each visitor.
Why is this important? I can tell from my server logs that over 60% of my readers are based in America, but because I live in Kazakhstan, I am currently unable to take an opportunity, if the advertiser decides to segment the opp as ‘USA only’. This is fair enough, as they want to ensure that they get maximum market coverage, in the area they wish to make their sales. However, with Argus, PPP will be able to show advertisers just how much American traffic this blog receives, and therefore I should be able to earn a little more money than I am right now.
If anyone would like to learn more about the PayPerPost system, do please leave me a comment (once you have visited the link above, of course 
).

If your post is rejected for fixable reasons, they do give you a chance to repair it. I took a 1k Tuesday opp awhile ago, misspelled the company name and didn’t use enough words. I got a rejection, but I fixed it, resubmitted it, and it was approved.
