Pay Per Post Acquires Performancing

TechCrunch reports that PayPerPost will acquire Performancing tomorrow to acquire new customers:

“The main purpose of the acquisition appears to be for PayPerPost to get access to the 28,000 Performancing users, most of whom are bloggers and potential customers of PayPerPost. The popular Performancing Firefox blog editing plugin is not being acquired, and will be spun off into a new brand.”

SERoundtable also commented today about Paid Blog Reviews:

“That is a tough one… Let’s look back… E-mail is a great thing, but spammers got to it and make it tough to use sometimes. The Web is a great thing, but spammers got to it (spyware, adware) and make it tough to use sometimes. Search engines are a great thing, but spammers got to it… Blogs are a great thing, but comment spammers got to it, making it tough… Paid blogger reviews are a great thing, but they can and will be used by people with bad intentions. As a blogger, I believe you can judge for yourself if a review is for a link or for a review. It is up to you if you are willing to risk a site-wide trust devaluation by Google or other engines. You are the only one who can judge, but don’t let Google scare you - do what you know is right.”
