Are they all the same?

I have been working with Payperpost and other companies for a while. Some of them I consider as scammers. I never got a payment from Bloggerwave for instance.

Other companies like Smorty doesn´t give any job to PR0 blogs but they will not tell you that. They will say that your entire blog must be in English. I have written a post about this and I complained with them.

The blog was accepted back but I couldn´t take any job because my PR. Now that it is 3 again the jobs are there, waiting for me.

Now my problem is with Payperpost. Their TOS says that my blog must be in English and my posts related to them must be in English. Well, the blog is in English. Visitors can navigate in it even if they don´t speak Portuguese.

I have paid posts in English only. I have non-paid posts both in English and Portuguese. It is natural because sometimes I want to comment some thing related to my country.

For instance, the post between the two English posts below is written in English. Maybe I will traslate it but I am sure it won´t interest anyone.

In that post I talk about the rain that is falling in my city. My city has a particular climate. We have almost 4 months without any rain. Then we have a period of time with heavy rain, winds, storms. Then we have 3 months of rain almost every day until it stops again.

It is something that is related to my city and since it is the capital of my country everyone here knows what I am talking about.

Writing it in English is a waste of post because an US visitor will not relate to that.

Sometimes I write in English when I want to talk about things that are known everywhere. I do that more than I write in Portuguese, but I still have posts in my language and even a category with them. I don´t hide paid posts nor original posts.

I wish Payperpost don´t do the same thing Smorty did. I like to work with them but I will stop imediatly if they start trying to run my blog.
