This article is about sponsored blogging. Are you familiar with it? In case you're one of the hundreds who's answer would be no, I'll explain it to you.

Sponsored blogging pays you to blog...it's a fact...you get paid from companies, your sponsors, to post articles about their news releases or their press releases on your blog. The writing is varied, you will be writing about a seemingly unlimited number of advertisers websites, products and services.

You are paid per posting, hence the term "pay per post". Many of the sponsored content marketplaces prefer that you disclose the fact that you are providing a sponsored posting within the article, some require it.

These are regular steady blogging opportunities offered by advertisers every day to independent bloggers. Advertisers need bloggers because of their ability to create buzz about upcoming projects or products.

Bloggers also help to build traffic to the advertisers website, complete with valuable backlinks. Bloggers also provide quality and usability feedback on the advertisers products and the list goes on and on.

There are some requirements for the prospective blogger to sponsored blogging.These requirements begin with traffic, advertisers like to see regular traffic to your blog. Of course, there is the regular no adult material, racist or hateful material, that should be an easy one.

You must be indexed by Google and Yahoo before you're eligible with some marketplaces. Some require being live for at least 3 months. You get the idea, the advertisers want to see traffic to your blog so someone actually sees your postings about their products.

If you are interested in sponsored blogging but you feel deficient in the area of traffic, start now to improve your SEO, do a giveaway, but get your traffic numbers up. Believe me if you have good traffic to your blog, the rest is easy.
