I don't simply spew on about stuff I don't know about here; in fact, I maintain (and even raise) bloggers' PageRank for a living, you just have to know when to stop when it comes to sponsored posts; if you're doing 5 sponsored posts a day then sure, Google is going to penalize you for running a website for the sole purpose of making money (ironically, only when it isn't through them) however, if you do one or two sponsored posts every two or three weeks after your website has been up and running for 3 months or more and you maintain your backlinks, Google should go pretty easy on you.

It happened to me. I stopped using Smorty and Sponsored Reviews.

If you accept it and they realize how great of a job you did and had lots of traffic see the review, then they could come back in the future and offer you another one. This time, you would be in a much better position to ask for more money and even turn it into a contract type of deal with a few posts guaranteed for X amount of dollars. That could be risky though because you also run the chance of them not coming back for more reviews or anything. Still, something to consider. But I agree with everything you said, just saying there could be some strategy behind taking a low offer in certain cases.

And there's a lot of value produced on the web in terms of connecting buyers with sellers that I don't think is any less honorable or important than flying the plane that delivers the product! Bloggers deserve to get paid. I couldn’t agree more; web-workers work hard!
