The blogging world will continue to get bigger but look where it was five years ago. How many of us were there then? Not too many, and many of the 'big' PF blogs that exist today were begun five years ago or more. I think there's hope.
I think each blogger needs to determine what they're willing to let pass. 6-12 months ago I was accepting some paid posts here and there for $50 a pop. Now, I'm willing to let those pass on those. I know my blog is worth more and if the advertiser is not willing to accept that, then I'm fine with that.
I wouldn't worry too much about seeing the posts appear on other blogs too much. One of the things I've learned quickly is that I can't be part of every opportunity. Some will pass you by and some you will pass by. As long as you're happy with the ones that fall in between those two realms, you'll be fine.

The post is worth whatever we say it is. If someone is willing to come in and undercut the rest of us, they are hurting everyone. We know our values and so do the advertisers. Stick to your valuation method and you come out ahead in the long run.

I like running the advertising for more than 50 sites…at least I know when an advertiser complains that my prices are higher than others, I can respond that I know more than 50 other sites with prices on the similar level, hahaha. Plus, based on what I am told by blogging buddies, there aren't that many of us underselling our sites.

I would stick to your values. I do think most advertisers want the link juice, but they are forgoing a good target audience. I do see sponsored posts that just do not make sense on some financial sites. I feel as if they have wasted their money.
Crystal reps my site. One of the reasons I had her rep my site is that I did not know how to "price" my site. I did not want it to undercut anyone else nor have it so high that I was losing opportunities.

Wow – you are up 10 from the last time I saw you reporting on the number of sites you run ads for!
