PPP Direct Blog Ads

The blogging market is quickly starting to fill up with ad marketing firms that come in and offer you much less profit on your ad spaces than you should be making! The new Pay Per Post Direct or PPP Direct, in short, gives you all that you need to make great money on your ad spaces and lets you keep more of the money that is charged for your ad space.

PPP Direct does this by dealing directly with you and cuts out the overhead that other firms that offer online ads charge both advertisers and bloggers themselves. Forget the 40-50% fees that other firms charge you, PPP Direct only charges 10% and half of that fee goes towards Paypal fees and credit card marketing. Blogging ads are exploding into tremendous opportunities for people who have a lot of readers of their blogs to make a nice significant amount of revenue from ads. The best part is that you are in control of whom and what is advertised on your blog. Your readers will appreciate this as well, they will be offered great deals and discounts and important information from advertisers that patronize your blog.

One of the most important parts of this new PPP Direct which is on the internet at Payperpost.com is that you are the one who will set the ad amount on your blog that an advertiser wants to buy from you. That's right! You have your figure right on a widget on your blog, and the advertiser clicks on the widget and it is as good as money in your pocket! PPP Direct is in effect acting as your agent that handles the purchase of the ad and other details and you are the one that is making the lion's share of the profit! This is a revolutionary idea that is benefiting both advertisers and bloggers alike.

As a blog owner, you have the security that the transaction is being processed by PPP Direct for you, and as an advertiser you are also getting the security of a professional transaction that can be handled any time of the day or night via the PPP Direct website and very soon, your ad is placed where you want it to be placed and at a price that is agreed upon by both blogger and advertiser!

Now you can participate in the online blogging ad juggernaut, previously these ads were only being place on blogs that got thousands of hits per month, but that has changed and you can have your local blog get local advertising dollars that will go into your pocket all thanks to PPP Direct.

Blue Jays invade Philly: we are at .500 !!

We took this week off on our audio show, we'll talk to you again next week on Philly Sports Talk Now! The imposing looking Toronto Blue Jays flew into Philly for a weekend series and the Phils won the first game in typical nail biting fashion!

Despite a nice healthy lead late into the game, the Toronto Jays stormed back and almost stole this one back as Brett Myers had a bases loaded jam he was facing in the top of the 9th inning and managed to get out of this one even though a throw by Abe Nunez appeared to pull Greg Dobbs off the bag for the final out of the game. As Scott Graham used to say though, "Put This One in the Win Column for the Fightin' Phils" anyway! Am I in the minority or do we need Scott Graham back in the broadcast booth? This nightly drubbing of Kalas, Wheels, and Sarge can stand some fresh air with the likes of Graham, and even Franzke and Larry Anderson need to give some relief in the TV booth this year. We miss those guys!! And I've spoken to a lot of Phillies fans who feel the same way.

Well we are at .500, a mountain that was a tough climb, but we are at a nice plateau now, and I like what I see. The bats are coming alive, people are having more fun, the team is winning and wow I love May! I'll be at the park to see the Jays myself. They have a power house of a team on paper. They look like a team that could contend. Then again, I thought that last year when on a vacation to Toronto, me and the Mrs. went up to the Rogers Centre and took in a Blue Jay game and were very impressed by what we saw. Anyone looking for a great road trip by the way, Toronto is a great place to go to visit and to see a ball game at the former Skydome is just great.

The Phils may not have that easy of a time in the next two games, the Jays will be hungrier and need to win here. Our Phillies need to win also so we may see one of the best series of the whole season in this weekend. Game one was certainly entertaining that is for sure!

Happy Mother's Day! Phils may sweep today!

The Phils are back home and on fire coming into Sunday, Mother’s Day with the afternoon game at Citizens Bank Park scheduled for 1:35 pm. The Fightins are 5-5 in their last 10 games so these two wins at home against the Cubs have been real important to them. Even as they are winning they are still 7 games back from division leading Atlanta, the NY Mets are 1.5 games back of the pace that Atlanta is setting. Atlanta is coming into Sunday’s play on a 5 game win streak and 8-2 in their last 10 games.

It was a wild one on Fox on Saturday afternoon. The game went back and forth and really was entertaining. I think Fox really selected a great game for the fans of baseball to watch in this one. Greg Dobbs was the star of this one going 4-4 in his replacement of Ryan Howard who has been added to the DL with a strained left quad, Howard can rejoin the team on May 25th – Chris Coste is again joining the Phils team being called up from Ottawa. Freddie Garcia worked a good game, it wasn’t his best game he’ll pitch this year, but he didn’t get the win as the Phils let the Cubs back into the game with a 5-5 tie that was restarted after a brief rain delay. The Phils managed to pull this one out though with a two out and nobody on base barrage that happened right after Aaron Rowand hit a single and Utley came up and doubled Rowand home, and the star of the game Greg Dobbs lobbed a triple down the right field corner. The rest is history, Carlos Ruiz, played a great game, he added a two run HR just for good measure to seal the Phils 11-7 wild victory. I’ll take these wins anytime! It feels good to win a game like this, instead of losing it.

Time will tell if anyone brings any brooms to the ballpark today, it is Mother’s Day – it’s Chase Utley blanket day for the ladies, Chase will be batting with a pink bat… I can’t wait to get to the park to see this one!


I am going out on a limb, I am predicting the first Phillies sweep today as this train keeps rolling on!!!

Forget Atlanta, Phil's win in San Fran 9-7

The Fightin's looked as though they were slipping back into bad habits in Atlanta. Their winning streak was cooled down there where the temperatures were in the mid to high 80's but now the Phils are in Bonds country. They exploded early out in San Fran with Jimmy Rollins again igniting the team with his tenacious play.

Rollins play is outstanding, he's the main reason the Phillies are turning things around. His numbers may not be All Star warranted, but as a Phillies fan you've got to give him your vote on the All Star ballot. Great play inspires others to do great.

Listen to our podcast, show # 41 to get the latest in what we have to say about the state of the team. You can also subscribe to our podcast in iTunes Music Store just go to the podcasts section of the music store and search "Philly Sports" and you can subscribe to the podcast.
