I know that there are over 50 Paid Posting Services out there. And Dani is right. That this is a hot subject. And I only say this, is that there are many services who provide quality work with great customer service. Some have this citeria while other services do not, therefore giving the Paid Posting Service a bad rap. I also know that many forum owners find others who use such services as cop outs. Or unnatural way to start a forum or giving your forum a boost by hiring such said services.

And like stated before that many posters do work for a low wage. I do know that some of the services are trying to raise the pay. Like .01 cent per word. Almost equal to content writing, which I believe runs for .015 to .02 cents per word. But if the paid posting owners pay anymore than the going price .10 - .15 it would be very hard to provide reasonable rates off to client/forum owners. In fact many forum owners try and haggle the price to where there is no profit for neither the Paid Posting Service owner or the poster. Like the statement goes "You get what you pay for". Hence spam. Which is sad to say the least.

I do know in my experience that if a site is of a personal interest after the work is done. I will return if the information is pertinant to what I need. I have found it a tendancy that many forums begin to look alike with all the same information. I only return if there is unique and quality information to the forum/community that is worthy of me returning.

I do know that some of the services are requiring the posters to have 15 + words in order to qualify for a payment. It is nice to see that when paying out that you actually get your money's worth and than some if possible. This I can understand. I have hired a few of these services to see what they can offer. Some did quality, some borderline, some spammers and some just didnt bother to show up.

say the truth i don't believe on paid posting services provided by companies ,
i would better get some members by paying them just to join and post like 30-50 ....then be close to them , pay then for post and start referral contest so i get real members, as i'm all familiar with my forum member, so they trust me .this way forum will go with neat and clean manner and looks like pro.
rest other member will join easily .

Why would you pay your forum members to post, when they are the ones who post for free? Unless it was one of those revenue share forums where the owner shares advertising revenue with top members.

Let your members who visit your site anyway continue posting for free. Pay experts in your industry to post on your site.

I'm not sure about the whole paid posts area of online communties, I've never really tried it so I wouldn't be able to give you my personal evaluation, however my opinion is that these paid posting services are only their for people who are trying to create more posts on their community and who may not have the members to create good topics and disscusions. I would personally stay clear of people offering these kinds of service.

Somehow I am not comfortable with the idea of asking people to post on my community unless I know them well. This goes both for paid posting as well as for post exchange kind of things.

I guess the issue here is that I'd rather have a lower level of activity with a greater deal of commitment than a huge amount of activity and less commitment from my members. It's a pretty empty feeling for an admin when you know that a person who's signed up for your community is going to make exactly "x" number of posts and then disappear. There's no charm in knowing what a new member is going to do...
