they do review your blog posts there. One quite innocent blog post which touched on the topic of Today.com itself got deleted for no real reason. I was in the process of changing my main blog over from Blogger to Today.com. I had changed the name of my Today.com blog to that of my old Blogger blog. Losing the blog post made me decide not to give up my Blogger blog after all. When I changed the name of my Today.com blog back to its original title and blogged about how I was going to continue my Blogger blog and continue the Today.com one under a different title, the blog reviewers at Today.com deleted my account.

While I have no hard feelings for Today.com, I believe the drawbacks of using their blogs- you cannot edit your posts after they have been reviewed, for example- outweigh the advantages for most bloggers. The time you put in writing one post for your Today.com blog could more profitably be spent writing an article for Helium.com or Associated Content.

The promise of getting paid to blog lures many people- including me- into doing things that in retrospect turn out to be poor ideas. Bloggers, the best thing you can do for your blog is improve your writing skills, pour your passion into your blog, and visit a good web site such as ProBlogger to learn how to improve the way you market your blog. Over the short term, your blog will not cure your money problems. But in time, if you grow enough as a blogger, perhaps the money will come.
