Paying Post/Blog Advertising Store is A Scam
Friday, November 6, 2009 8:40I decided a few months ago that I would check out Blog advertising store, or Paying Post to help my income a little on this blog. I enjoy writing reviews and about new products and everyone had told me that this site paid. I figured I would check it out, but I was still figuring I may not get paid.
Well I was right with my gut instinct and I have not been paid by them and they are not responding to emails. It’s sad for me as right now I really needed the money, I can make up for it later in the month, it just means there is no Christmas money.
Apparently I am not the only one having this problem you can read how others were scammed at the links below.

I have fallen for many of these sites that have never paid even after I’ve down work for them. They just play people and take their time with no returns. There are very few that do keep their word and don’t try to play you.

I have been wondering whether to do paid blog advertising with Blog Advertising Store myself. After reading about so many of their scams I am hesitant. Reading your blog has helped with information about whether they will pay or not. The internet is helpful for finding information. I have written for a few paid blogging sites that do not pay. Some are more reliable than others.

Unfortunately, blog advertising store is a sham. I have heard of many complaints like these, and very very few that have been resolved. I am awaiting a payment as well. I doubt I will ever see it, and there is little you can do aside from attempting to contact the advertisers directly. I read on article in which that worked!
Good luck to all!

Hi sis!
I have to remove the link to the post about PP as a scam. They did pay me and Tammy but after seeking help from their advertisers. However, when other bloggers were advised to do the same, PP ignored them already.
I did receive my payments only after so much struggle that I discourage writing for this site. For some who dont complain, PP is simply deceiving and dubious. I did make a follow up post-update on this.
So, you can try to find other ways to pressure PP to pay or simply remove your reviews because for one, advertisers pay PP in advance, so it’s really PP who fools its bloggers.
I only wish the works of other bloggers for PP shall be duly paid.

I still have yet to get paid, but I have just sent another strongly worded email to them and am going to start talking to the advertisers. If they would like my post to stay up they are going to have to push pp to pay.

Thanks for the warning. I assume you still haven’t been paid even now? That sucks, but at least people like me can take a lesson and avoid PP.

I still have not been paid and I”m not expecting to. It is sad, I just hope others will find this post and know not to sign up for them.

me too! it’s been 2 months already and i haven’t been paid by payingpost! i sent them countless messages but not once did they responded! i just thought how rude can they get! after all the hardwork you did, the advertisers surely paid them already but we the bloggers are left thinking if we will still gonna get paid. i’m losing hope already so i’m thinking what can i do to just get back at them?

They probably will not respond. I would make sure you have their code off of your blog as I was told it’s causing virus like issues. I’m not sure if it’s actually a virus or what, but I took it off my blog.

Hi,
I have just reached 100$ and it’s just now that I discovered about the scam thing about blog advertising. I emailed them twice, and still no reply
.. So unprofessional. They really don’t pay for our efforts.

Guys… What i coming to say will sure shatter you. Bcoz i felt so. I am a dedicated blogger, I have 4 PR3+ blogs and i registered to blogadvertisingstore in 09. I had reached the limit of 100 USD in Nov 09 itself still they haven’t payed me. Another heart breaking affair is my friend, an active blogger in BAS he too reached the limit when he asked for the payment they had deleted his account in an instant. See how they are. So guys common wake up… No body will be paid. Bcoz they are pure scammers. They eat advertisers money and cheating blogger tactically…

I can attest that blogadversitisingstore.com is a scam. I just joined this site last february 2010. I was able to reach my earnings of more than their established threshold limit of $100. I got $133. So, on March 1, 2010, I am expecting payment from them but to no avail, nothing!
I sent them emails already but they are not replying! They have their CONTACT US page but they don’t have their email displayed.
I checked my email archives every time they notify if my post are approved. The email is admin@domain.com… this is very cheesy!
It is indeed a scam! Stay away with this bullshit scammers, blogadverstising.com!

As I too have been waiting for payment — $101, to be exact — I did some sleuthing around as to why PayingPost suddenly “changed” their name.

Looks like they don’t play by the “fair” rules they gloat about in their terms & conditions.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I have paid blogadvertisingstore for two campaigns for a civil engineering company I am associated with. I was just about to drop down a significant chunk of change to them for another one of my websites. I suppose I will have to find another blogging service. If anyone wants to blog on camping gear, tire chains, or environmental freindly civil engineering services, let me know.

I work with a few other companies. IZEA is really one of the best ones out there. You should check them out if you haven’t already.

To Brian:
Maybe you could put pressure on PayingPost/BAS and ask them to refund the money that you spent on blog posts for them, because it’s very likely that the people who made those posts have never been paid for their hard work.

They’re a scam alright. I have $100 in there and after I emailed them when I would be getting payment, they suspend my account! Bunch of frauds.
