New Paid to Post and Paid to Blog Websites

More and more news websites are seeking fresh and unique content to fulfill their large readerships and create ad revenue. To fulfill this role many new websites have recently sprung up offering to pay users - most either pay per blog, but others are based on a percentage of the ad revenue created by their articles. I thought I'd look over some of these web sites and see what they had to offer:

One of these new websites is newsvine.com, where users can write their own articles and collect 90% of the ad revenue created by their stories. The sites resources for news not only include its own users, but also writers from the likes of ESPN, the Associated Press, and various other large media organizations. Just like blogs users can also post comments; in addition users also vote for articles to increase their popularity pushing them to the home page of the website.


Payperpost.com

Payperpost, another consumer generated advertising website allows bloggers to create up to 3 posts per day per approved blog. The posts must be left active for 30 days. I couldn't find any information as to what the company paid its bloggers however I'm assuming it probably varies according to the length and quality of the post.


Blogburst.com

This site submits its content to various news websites such as Reuters.com, USA today, Gannet, FoxNews.com, and many more. Bloggers are paid according to their position on the leaderboard - only the top 100 get paid (the rest do it for free I guess). The top 100 bloggers get paid quartery or 4 times a year according to their position in the chart:
