PayPerPost Influx Of Opps

Over the last few months, as more and more bloggers join PayPerPost, the amount of jobs available to take has sadly fallen. This is unavoidable - until PPP are able to encourage even more advertisers to come on board, when the amount of people willing to post increases, the average jobs available per blogger will obviously fall. To prevent the black hat bloggers from writing scripts to automatically reserve the best paying opps, a Captcha system was re-introduced. Although this adds a little to the needed time to complete each task, as they have decided to use the more modern variant (see the 2nd image at the top of the Wiki article previously linked to), it would appear that the automated scripts are no longer working, at least for now…

PPP also limited the amount of jobs available to each blog down to two. This obviously has meant some people have found their income is a little lower than previously, but once more, it has meant that more bloggers get a bite of the cherry, and over all, when factored in with the income I generate from other PPP-like sources, my overall ‘wage’ has not suffered greatly.

This evening, I was looking through the list of available opps, which numbered between 20 and 25, when suddenly the page took a little longer to load, following one of the often used refreshes… At first I thought that there was perhaps another competition day (last week saw another $1k Tuesday, where PPP themselves introduced 10 x $50 and 1 x $500 opportunities.) However, it was even better news - all of a sudden, there were 87 jobs waiting to be reserved! Within an hour, this had dropped by 50, but the fact that these jobs are coming in is great news… It looks as though I may not be on a diet of bread and water when I go to Amsterdam :)
PS This post isn’t sponsored, nor was it requested, I just wanted to keep interested parties updated.
