Paid posts can only swing a Web site’s all-important rank in search engines and blog directories.Back in 2006 when plenty of bloggers embedded trailers of Ashley Judd movie ‘Bug’ in their posts. The video become one of the most popular on Technorati.com. Paid posties polluted search engines to declare the movie ‘bug’ as trending topics around blogsphere while it wasn’t a real trending topic at all.
I've been doing some informal research work over the past couple of months, and discovered that a frequency of approx 20 tweets per minute mentioning the same word is enough to create a top trending topic on Twitter.
Back to the point, Should Google exclude paid posts from its set frequency that detect what is trending and what is paid, because paid cannot be trendy.
Is it (Pay Per Post) an advertising, marketing, branding, channel or it’s an fabricated attempt to buy attention of Google’s and Technorati’s spider. As I believe that real critics and user generated contents/commentaries is the only source to establish your Brand, rather paying people to produce massive word of mouth and type links and links and links.
A brand cannot be establish by paying people to talk about you or your product or company, unless you build a community and gain real trust.
I think these paid posts are misleading readers, and creating pollution for search engines to retrieve what is trendy.
If these paid posts sites are really interested to swing their website all over the web, they better offer Pay per view too.

I dare to disagree here. The Internet is one big market place where users come to find what thy are looking for. The information they get from the Internet help them make informed purchasing decisions. If they don't get the required info, given by those sponsored conversations, where with they get it from?
Don't please multiply the assertions of the millions of those conversations that include a personal experience or knowledge.
Now why would You go do something like that...
If you are trying to find something online product or service and You are reading Paid content You only will get what they give You!
Now on the other hand if You read real TRUE responses by Paid consumers You will get better!
But down the line I think reading others comments / reviews can and always lead to an incorrect choice!
meaning that either way will provide a negative stimulation and for I Opt for None.
PS. Nice to of met You.. Mr.Shiirazi
STRAIGHTALK: Glad to meet you.
Given my own interest in Paid Blogging, I look at this in a different way. Internet is a very lonely place without those commercial activities. After all this is what we have come to call e-commernce. Let us take Paid Blogging as an intgral part of the info we get online and let us hope that Paid Contents find their way and regulations over time. BTW, this has started happening already.
