Amount paid for posts on the decrease

Since September I have written 10 blog posts that were paid using PayPerPost or ReviewMe. The ReviewMe posts were from “campaigns” that are open to all members and the PayPerPost entries were ones that this site qualified for, i did, and then were accepted for payment. I do not apply for all posts that i am qualified for on PPP and the very low paying campaigns i ignore. Regardless, the graph below shows that there is a slow downward trend in the amount paid for posts. Even averaging out the purple line shows a slow decrease. I honestly had expected an increase in the amount paid over time as advertisers woke up to the possibilities of generating traffic with blogs.

Perhaps the market is saturating with blogs written specifically to cater to this bit of income.
