Paid to blog companies that are not good

Have you joined one of those paid to blog websites only to find that all their promises of making lots of money by blogging just a bunch of bunk? You are not alone. Sure you can make money posting paid blog posts, I have done it but I am not rich - far from it in fact. I have joined enough of them to let you know what ones to steer clear of. Here are my top 4 that are absolutely the worse:

• The top of the list is Bloggerwave. I did one post for them over a year ago and never got paid. Countless emails I have sent but they are never answered. Steer clear of that company.
• The next one is Blogitive. I did one post for them several months ago and it never got approved. It is still in a pending state. They don't answer their emails either. They even have a Facebook account that has not had any activity since September 2008.
• Smorty is only good if you have a Page Rank of 3 or better on your blog. If it is ranked lower than that you can be assured of no work from them for months on end.
• Social Spark use to be OK until a few weeks ago when they decided to change their requirements for blog posts. Now they don't want any other ads on the same page as the sponsored post. That includes side bars. Fat chance of that happening guys.
