I don't have a problem with the idea of somebody getting paid to write. But I do have a problem with the opinions being determined by the people paying the bills.</p> I was doing a search on “pay per post” with a different idea in mind and stumbled across your post.

What we need is a survey company to do online surveys so that we can all vote for the best blog in several different categories.</p> <p>Just my thoughts.</p> I think that over the next few years we will probably get a good blog award system but for now this is all we have.

Just my thoughts.

You have confirmed that I want nothing to do with the “Blogger’s Choice Awards”. "clearly linked": if we are explaining, we have already lost. Thank you Andy Beard!

"On the Blogger’s Choice Awards site, in the footer it says" is a perfect example of why context matters. I looked for this type of information on the front page or on the about page. Cause I missed the fine print. Why is the same clear message not on the front page or the about page? Your second comment raises many relevant points about the larger topic that I will have to consider. I would be interesting what suggestions come up with from an audit of WordPress.org -- personally I find it well focused on the open source product, and not compromised by business relationships which is one of the reasons I joined Automattic -- there is clearly room for improvement.
