Finally, well over 4 days after my submission, by BlogAdvertisingStore.com (or PayingPost.com) submission for $10 was approved.

The site still does not fill me with confidence and I am concerned that what I read is true – that both of these are just scams. It would be nice if, like the systems it copies, it had support forums. Even if only a simple bulletin board forum. But then, my hosts (who are huge) removed their help / support forum without word.

It is amusing that they have OKd the post on this website and not looked over the rest (or noticed the BlogAdvertisingStore and PayingPost tags) and at least defended themselves.

But, what does convince me more that they are not 100% what they claim to be is some of the new opportunities. A few appeared last night, along with my post approval. Not many, just a couple (there are 8 there now, including 2 not open to me and the 1 that I have done).

Unusually, they list how many more times each opportunity can be taken, which is a good idea. Unfortunately, a $20 opportunity had 20 positions left last night and still has all 20 left now. Not exactly flowing quickly, are they?

I am tempted to play along and see if I can get to the $100 threshold and see what happens. But I’ve got better things to be doing with my time!
