SquidOffers - Seth Godin is at it again!

Watch out PPC there's a new game in town. SquidOffers is a user-generated and community voted offer (vs. ad) system that was recently released at Squidoo.com. Basically, you write an ad (offer) pay for inclusion and then members of the community are allowed to vote the ads (offers) up like Digg or Plexo and the top five ads (offers) wind up getting the most traffic. This is going to be interesting to watch.

I can see that working to different levels of success in a community environment but I don't see that as a threat to PPC.

But there will be a problem in this case , people will pay users to vote there ads up and up

That is possible. If people will cheat PPC (Click Fraud) I imagine they will cheat this too.

I just checked out Seth's blog and there is already someone saying, "Please vote up our SquidOffer."

SquidOffers will generate some buzz which Seth is good at but that dog won't hunt.

If SquidOffers works long term the way it's currently set up I'll walk the plank.
