Pay Per Post

Have you heard about PayPerPost? They are offering to pay bloggers for publishing posts about products that publishers are willing to create news for. At first glance the entire concept annoyed me, but then I read the weekend newspaper and figured out that most newspaper post do not just make news (I am talking about articles and not news items) but are the result of careful PR by some party or another. If that is the case then how can a sponsored blog post be any different? Not that I see myself publishing a post about office furniture or other products but I think it's fair to say that we're going to be seeing quite a few bloggers adopting this new for of revenue generation. Is it really that far from affiliate links? Let me know what you think...
