There is one particular advertiser that a friend of mine called “Cheapskate”, I have dealt with him before from Marketplace A and found him to be thoroughly generous. This advertiser also opens his opportunities in Marketplace B which requires bidding from bloggers. I never bothered with jobs from there because most advertisers here would not bother with rejecting bids and that gives me the feeling that they are only fishing for the best rate from bloggers who have better blog stats, and such.
In Marketplace C, though, I have posted for this particular advertiser a few months back and had no problems. He recently started new campaigns but required Blogs with Page Rank of 4 and above which locked me out of his jobs.
Last month, he lowered his requirements to Page Rank 3 and I was very happy, took them all, wrote them up and submitted. However, a week later, I was told that this advertiser does not want bloggers from outside North America. He did not mention it that was why we took it.
Anyway, not too long later, he opened up these opportunities once again, which I took and has not had an issue. I half expected my rating to fall but it did not.
Then last week, he opened yet more opportunities but took them out an hour later. Can you imagine my frustration of reserving them to submit only to have them yanked out like that?
The reason I even bothered was because I already wrote those posts a month ago and all I needed to do was to submit them, if I could reserve them in time. Moreover, I already gave the advertiser link juice and people even found my posts through the search engine and could read my full post and view the image despite already saved as draft. Won’t you too be frustrated to be taken for a ride?
