Yes, something's really wrong here.

I get so irritated, and really agitated with some of the bloggers posting for my program at blogtoprofit.com. If you never read about my post on my new job as a Social Media Processor, let me inform you then that I took up this new job about evaluating Social Media (blogs) everyday. Yup, I get to read blog posts everyday and evaluate them if they pass our criteria and decide on what "grade" to give them as our basis if they get to be assigned links next time or not.

It may sound easy, and I thought it was, but it isn't. I mean, you know how much I love to read and blog-hopping is actually good since it can also enhance one's knowledge. But gosh! I can't believe I'll be dealing with super dull people! Forgive me for that, I don't mean to undermine other people's capacity. I mean, they've got their own blogs for God's sake! They were posting there everyday! Not everybody knows how to blog, but they're good at it! So I can't really understand why they can't follow simple instructions! These are grown-ups for pete's sake!

Yes, I'm really pissed!

I am patient with these kind of people you know. I used to be a College Instructor and it wasn't easy to deal with extremes everyday. Yes, I dealt with extreme students; at the other side, too bright students then at the other, oh well, not so gifted ones. But I was patient with them. I learned to go down their levels just to reach out to them and help them with their education. I was strict, I know that, but I am proud to say that my students saw me as a disciplinarian and a good teacher.

But now! What about now?! I'm getting really agitated! How would you feel if you get to start your day with copied posts? I mean, we have that in our rules! How can they not understand simple rules such as these:

1. You will be assigned a batch of links by a BToP administrator based on the categories that you agreed upon sign-up. You may change the preferred categories at any time before a batch of task is given.

2. Once a batch of order has been assigned to your blog, you have up to 120 hrs to complete and submit the post before it will be re-assigned to another blogger.

3. You should accurately post a link and its anchor text verbatim within your blog post, at one link per post only.

4. The link should be in context, found in the main body of a relevant blog post.

5. Content must be creative and original. You should not copy more than one sentence from any portion of text from the advertiser’s website, doing so may get you banned from BTOP.

6. There is a minimum requirement of 150 words for blog entry approval.

7. Your blog post must appear either as one of the recent blog entries on your home page, or be a clear link accessible from your blog. Posts may be rejected if they can not be easily found from your blog.

8. Your blog post must remain live for at least 12 months and be accessible through the submtted permanent link at anytime within the agreed period. Bloggers who remove posts after being paid and before the term mentioned above ends will no longer receive sponsorship opportunities and may be banned from BToP.

9. Anchor texts with backlinks to advertiser must not contain “no follow” tags.

10. Posts from BTOP should not be posted into one category like “sponsored”, “paid posts”, “ads”, “advertisements”, “earn from blog” and other similar categories.

And what really pissed me more is the fact that I get to email the same blogger three times for committing the same error! My God! Once is enough for a wise man. Ok, he/she may not be that wise, so a second email must be enough right? But to the height! I don't know what's wrong with their brains! They're not doing that for free, they're getting paid, they need not to make everything perrfect but gosh! Can't they follow instructions? I'm sure they can read!

Ok, it might not be them, maybe it's ok to be a pea-brain sometimes, maybe it's me, there really is something wrong with my patience...
