What's wrong with getting paid for your time? Is it an issue of being vested in the product you're reviewing? Aren't all "journalists" somewhat vested? How about if you give full disclosure?

But the "ivory tower" concern isn't about disclosure, its the prevailing ethos that its a bad idea for marketing companies to try and pay bloggers for their opinions. As much as I find the idea distasteful, its inevitable -- and as you know, its already happening. Well, I certainly agree with you on that one.

In fact, look at political bloggers, who are practically on a retainer for particular political parties. While my opinion on how good or bad it is hasn't changed at all, I think that its a fairly ivory-tower type one at that. As much as people want the idea of pay per posting to die, it won't because, much like everyone else, bloggers like getting paid for their time. Heck -- look at the number of bloggers who signed up for ReviewMe and did one of their posts for cash. And there are a few significant ones. Where's the outrage now? Everyone has their price, and as much as I could get flamed for it, I think the price that most bloggers are willing to sell their own posts and blog for is quite low.
