A new online trend is paid-to-post blogging. Some people out there take advantage of the system and create blogs for just this reason (and waste your money) but if you can find a decent blogger it can actually be very helpful to your website.

Blog advertising is not new, but it has become very big lately. What you do is sign up with a service that connects advertisers and bloggers. Set up your site and give some basic info for your review, then you’re on your way. Most blogs don’t ask for much in return for their praise and you gain more than just word of mouth. A wonderful side-effect is gaining page rank by having more sites link to you.

On the other hand, if you’re a blogger, you can earn money on your website by reviewing companies, websites, or products. It’s actually a great way to gain content for your blog if you choose offers that are relative to your topic.

Hey, maybe you can afford a slightly more expensive  and reliable host *wink* for your blog.
