Blog Advertising - Get Paid to BlogThis is another one of the blog advertising networks where bloggers can earn some money by reviewing their favorite products and services.

Smorty is one of the few paid blogging networks that I have worked with and would like to share my experiences and observations that I have made in due course of time.

Smorty might not be as popular as some other paid blogging networks but can provide one with a decent number of opportunities in paid reviews.

The requirements:

* Your blog should be indexed in the SEs and should be atleast 3 months old

* You should have an archive with atleast 2 post a week ratio

* The usual, no hate, adult, kind of blogs.

Something that everyone would like to know

How does my page rank affect my income?
Smorty has a unique blogger ranking system. There are two factors affecting your income, firstly, if you have a higher Google Page Rank you will be offered higher paying campaigns as well as the lower paid campaigns. This will start at $6 and go up to around $60 for some campaigns. Secondly, Smorty’s calculates it’s own smart score system, it’s created by combining the following factors 1) Googles PageRank, 2) Alexa Rankings, 3) Return rate of given tasks 4) Approval/Decline ratio of completed tasks and 5) Number of completed tasks. If you have a higher Smorty score, you are more likely to receive more campaign offers and more higher priced campaigns. You can earn up to even $100 per article on some occasions.

At the moment Smorty might not be pouring with opportunities but I have made $5 - $20 per week with my lesser blogs (I guess if you are not lazy like me and check the opportunities more frequently you can make more).

But nevertheless having a decent PR help. (For me a decent PR would be starting at a PR3)

But don’t worry, for one thing I can guarantee is that as soon as you are approved you will have atleast three opportunities worth a total of $18 USD.

Also, please note that you will only see the opportunities that are available to you in your dashboard.

Some additional things to remember once you are a member
* You get paid weekly via Paypal

* No disclosure required

* You review should contain atleast 150 words and should not exceed 400 words.

So keeping with the rules, I end here. ;-)

I recommend that you join them: Sign up for Smorty

Not going to make million but a few extra bucks paid weekly sure helps.

WidgetBucks is not quite new but is worth a mention as a lot of people seems to be happy with it. Personally it is complementing my Adsense income by atleast $ 50-100 per month.

This initiative is owned by the Seattle-based Mpire.

Widget bucks is a CPC contextual advertising network (which means that they pay for every ad click) launched last year on 2nd October.

Their Ad code displays a shopping widget which shows shopping items as per your widget preference.

You can either choose a topic for your widget or let them serve the ads as per the content of your site.

The merchandise you see it your widgets are extracted from the portfolio of about 30K retailers, including the biggest retailers like Amazon, WalMart, and many more.
