Will Google smack these paid to blog bloggers?

by ParisB on November 24, 2008

You can’t buy love.

But Pahang sure will try.(source)

State Information, Science, Technology and Innovation Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin said the bloggers, who would be given an allowance, would be supplied with computers and Internet access in their homes.

Now, tell me if this is not a form of being paid to blog? These pensioners are being paid to write only positive things, positive reviews about Pahang and to “counter slanderous comments and allegations posted on the Internet”.

Why only hire 3? Why not hire more? Where’s the sign up page? How often do they get paid? Are they blogging from some blogspot blog or their own domain? Why didn’t the newspaper disclose the blogs so we can all go ogle at these paid to blog bloggers? How much are they getting paid?

Google, are you reading this? Are you going to hunt down these blogs and smack their PR silly? Then maybe you’ll leave me poor lil’ blogs alone and return me some PR?

Please?

Indeed these will be paid-to-post blogs, and Google should definitely smack ‘em big time. And all these hush-hush nonsense is highly suspect. Would love to know what these sites are though. And then report them to Google. HAHAHA!! :D
