Ok, I have set myself up on Social Spark now. Well at least partially.

I sort of assumed the website would have very similar functionality to PayPerPost but it’s quite different. It took me a while to figure things out but it still seems cool.

I’m not sure how I will use it though, I don’t seem to qualify for any of the opportunities yet? I think I will because my RealRank is 1800 and climbing a lot every day. Please leave a comment if I’m not meant to publicize that.

Anyway, even though it’s a little glitchy it’s a cool website and in my opinion with serious potential.

I’m pretty sure once my installation of their javascript code is confirmed that I’ll be able to take advantage of these opportunities.

I’m almost giddy right now. I’ve had an awesome day so far and it’s just been made even better by the launch of SocialSpark by Izea, the same bunch who run PayPerPost.com

Social Spark is in the same niche as PayPerPost - sponsored blogs - but is taking it from a different angle. Many bloggers are scared of what will happen to them if they blog at PayPerPost, that they might get smashed by Google. Which is what happened at this blog.

If you own a blog this is an opportunity to get involved in a defensible money making opportunity to spread hype and excitement about a bunch of websites and events that are happening.

And the joy for many is this : PageRank doesn’t matter. That’s right. Traffic is what matters. It’s perfect timing for this website as I adjust going from PR3 ->PRO. The traffic here is pretty good compared to many blogs. And it seems like the SocialSpark ones are of a more interesting nature.

The design of Social Spark is innovative and attractive. Izea places a high emphasis on the visual aesthetic in all their websites and this is no different. The people who run it are geniuses, I have no hesitation in saying that. They really know their stuff, they’re reliable and just as important, they pay what they promise. Very reliable company that I am happy to have had dealings with.

The main problem with the site is it is a bit buggy right now, with slow loading times.

This is a peach of a website and I can’t wait to get stuck into it.

Wow, today has been awesome.

I’ve been blogging like nuts - this is my 10th or 11th post for the day across all my blogs - I have been making deals, I have been coming up with ideas… In fact, the past 24 hours have been one of my most productive days in a very long time.

Sometimes things just fall into place and you get into “the zone”. I can’t say everything that’s happening but it’s just an exciting time for me.

Not only this, but I’ve never been more excited to review any site so much as the one I am going to review in my next post.

Anyway, I need to find an Indian blogger willing to crank 20 posts a day, 100 words each over 3 different topics (at least). Possibly I’m a little ambitious For this lucky Indian it could be equivalent of a full time job almost.

In other news, Jonk’s Bargains is bouncing back from the huge Google hit it took when Matnewton.com’s links all got devalued. This is good. (*edit* It appears Jonk’s DIDN’T take a hit, I had a visitor record today! I’m really confused!)

I’m just about to invest $100 into making Jonk’s more defensible as a website, to avoid further collapses. (*edit* So I invested $90 actually, and don’t really know how to tell if it’s working because my sites are kingpin again.)

And in other news, I’ll be relaunching a website that had previously failed into something better. It won’t fail this time. No link yet I’m afraid, I’m too embarrassed about the previous incarnation that is still up
