Blogger Supreme

Has anyone been experiencing the same trouble that I have with blogsvertise? I have been doing posts for blogvertise since 2007 but it started to cause me headaches in 2008 particularly after my main website’s page rank decreased from PR 4 to PR 3.

Sometimes, Blogsvertise would be rejecting posts, advise you to to rewrite the entry and after several tries and rejections, you would end up being advised to remove the post because your blog does not comply to the advertiser’s requirements .This happened to me in March 2008. Blogsvertise made this assignment available in my grab task and rejected it later because my site was PR 3 (and they made the assignment available for my PR 3 site and did not even gave specific requirement that the assignment is for PR 4 and higher sites only).

The worse thing is that, sometimes, Blogvertise will be rejecting the task (that you can’t resubmit) only after the post (and the paid links) are already in your site for several days. Just today, I got a rejection email for a post I submitted last February 9. I was told to remove the post today February 13 because the advertiser cancelled the campaign. Can’t blogsvertise do something to protect their bloggers from advertisers who commission posts and then back out after the article is already made?

Anyone having trouble with blogsvertise too?

I have my own stories of being a victim of copyright violation as a writer and a blogger. I would be spending time– sometimes even hours to research on some blog posts that I make only to realize that somebody else would just copy my work and paste it in their adsense monetized sites.

I am no commercial composer or a big time artist but as a blogger, I do understand the sentiments of Mr. Gary Granada against the GMA kapuso foundation. According to Mr. Granada, GMA kapuso used his work without permission and without pay.

Learn more about the issue by listening to Gary Granada’s recording:

I have not heard nor read about GMA’s side on the issue yet but I can’t think of a reason why a lone musician will go against a giant TV network except to seek for publicity. To seek for publicity, however, does not seem to be the reason in the case of Mr. Granada. It seems that his right as a musician has really been violated and he only seeks reprieve for this injustice.

Did GMA intentionally use Mr. Granada’s work or is this a case of copyright ignorance? Either which, this is a shame to GMA. The network reportedly helps in fighting piracy and it has failed in upholding the most major of all reasons why video and audio piracy is illegalized: to protect the rights of artists and musicians.
