PPP Reviewers Getting Sloppy?

I'm not sure it it's just me or other bloggers experienced having their posts rejected because PPP reviewers made a mistake. I've been doing work for PPP for a year now and it was only lately that I observed more of this inaccuracies. I actually saw this review mistakes for like five times -or more- already in the past couple of months. Makes me think if their reviewers are new - if they are, I could very well excuse the mistakes. But if they're not, I'm just ready to hear their excuse.

Anyway, being a believer of the feedback system or maybe I just love to complain, I send tickets to Customer Love always. In fairness, my concerns are properly answered.

Now the recent blunder a reviewer made so irked me because I made the revision (as specified) only to be sent another review remark (second) telling me it is disapproved (again) and that I will not be able to resubmit this particular post because it violates their Terms of Service in regards to Frequency of Posts. Isn't that great? Naturally, I contacted Love again.

And here's the reply I got:

Hi Zenaida,

Thanks for reaching out to us. I apologize for the frustration with this. If it helps at all, this subject was the very one that was communicated to all the reviewers this morning. You are absolutely correct that ALL review issues should be listed in a rejection notice so that more than one notice is not necessary.

Hopefully, your specific example will help to d(r)ive this point home and you('ll) not be inconvenienced in this way in the future.

All the Best,

Carri

So there. At least, it's good to know that we're all getting somewhere here. And I can only hope that the feedback system I so believe in will bring improvements for everyone - including me!

Tuesday Toot #1

I'd put in three toots, hoots, whatever today.

First toot. I'm joining the Tuesday Toot Meme for the first time. Yay! *smile*

The next one would be a little of a downer. I've lost my PR. =( It's a big round-Oh for me. But hey, that's fine. I had fun while I had my PR. Besides, it's not as if that's all there is to blogging.

And the third one is I've been a little preoccupied learning the ropes of my new lens , which I got very recently. Love it so far.

Blogging And Finding A Good Webhost

Blogging has taken quite a permanent place in my heart. Although I have managed to somehow control and curb my addiction, I have to admit that somehow it has become an integral part of me.
It certainly has also taught me to enjoy what life has to offer. I made friends online and I have learned so much about the online world thru blogging. As I have later ventured to paid blogging, I have seen monetary rewards one can receive thru blogging.

When I first started blogging, I had thought “okay I can do this for a year and we’ll see.” Somehow that has changed, I’m still here now and loving every minute of it. And for this reason, I have brought my online existence to another level –and that is to get my own domain and host on my own. I have heard of bloggers who were not satisfied with their webhosts but I have been really blessed to find a reliable webhost (which my sister recommended). In fact, I have not met a problem while with this webhosting provider and their technical support is superb.

With this, I’m really thankful that I have checked around and asked for suggestions from people I trust. Reviews are also very helpful. I do believe it’s a sound idea to check what others think before deciding. There are also good sources of these reviews where you can also check webhost ratings.

About My Venture Into Paid Blogging

If you’ve been reading me, you’d have known that I have started monetizing my blog late last year. The jump to doing paid posts was not a whirlwind decision. I thought long and hard about it – and weighed the consequences i.e. readership issue, etc… While I didn’t realize other issues that I might encounter with this decision, I had learned a lot over the course of time – I am still learning now. I learned how it feels like to lose a PR and then regain it again. I am learning the English language and its usage all over again. Most of all, I have learned to that in everything we do, the success depends on how much dedication we invest in what we are doing. I used to see paid blogging as an easy ticket to earn extra cash. I didn’t know then that you can only expect much from paid blogging, only if you put much into it too. Now I realize that it needs more time than what I can afford to spend online.

In short, it is a rollercoaster ride for me. Sometimes, I get to deliver posts, sometimes not. This is due to the fact that not only do I have a regular 8-hour-a-day job, I only have a family to take care of. But over time, I have learned my pace –and am still learning at the moment. I have been blessed with good opportunities online but I can just imagine how it must be for those who can afford to stay longer online. I can only imagine the rewards they are reaping- what with numerous paid blogging services these days. And very recently SocialSpark is launched as addition to the list. It’s “so far,so good” for me but I will have to stop there. If you want to learn more and experience paid blogging the SocialSpark way, you have to try it and find out what it's like for yourself.

I'd Be Honored To Review Products I Trust

For few months that I’ve been doing paidposts, I found myself doing posts of various topics and products - from credit cards to clothing, insurance to slippers, online games to movies, and many other subjects. Although lately, based on the opps I usually get from PPP or SocialSpark.com, it looks like Verb is going on the entertainment track (with topics such as music, movies, artists and games). But this doesn’t say I will not do other products reviews. I might not be able to do some here, but maybe my other blogs would be fitting. I really am looking forward to do reviews for some products I am using and I’b be real honored to review them.

And here are some of these products and some brand names that I secretly would love to do a review for:

Baby products

Johnson& Johnson’s – because I used some of their baby products even in my teenage years. Now, I am still using their Aveeno Daily Moisture Lotion (which is really designed for babies) and my mother is also using some of their products, too.

Pigeon baby – from bottles to cups to baby lotion to toothpaste, Matt has been using their products since birth. When it comes to baby products, I trust this company.

All natural products such as those from Burt’s Beeswax.

I just love, love, love their products.

Slippers

I’m such a huge fliploppin’ Momma and I patronize slip-ons from Havaianas and Ipanema

I could really go on and on with this topic but for now, I will hold myself from spilling more "secrets."

Autoposting In Blogger

Isn't it a great news! Autoposting is now possible in Blogger.

Whew, at last! It's here. I truly am so happy with this improvement with Blogger.

Although I had a tough time using WP at the start, I have learned to appreciate WP more because, first and foremost, of the autoposting feature. This is one of my favorite perks with WP and I use it all the time at Makimeji.

But now, it's just great to have it with Blogger too. I have tested it and right now, I am using it to post this entry.
