Creamaid - investigation

I have been prompted to do what it says in the title and talk about my investigation of paid to blog, these are my interim thoughts which will be gathered together and updated at the end of the month... I am going to talk about different schemes in different posts
You can plainly see that there are a number of Creamaid posts on the site, and my reportings on Creamaid are as follows:
The payout for a post that is accepted into the 'conversation' is relatively low...however they DO pay more or less immediately, which I feel is a very nice touch. In addition, there is the added bonus of payments made if another blogger joins the conversation via your post. These additional payments are only paid out at the end of the promotion (and so far there is no end in sight for any of the promotions I have taken part in - they seem to last for months).
On the down-side, some of the promotions which appear to be running, have no posts and when you investigate, you get a message saying that this conversation is over-subscribed... even though there are no posts! Thus you have to conclude that maybe some advertisers are seeking some free publicity simply be being on the list?
Overall I have found this service relatively painless to use, and the instant payout (even though earnings are low) is very welcome, especially if you have earnings targets to meet...
You don't need to go through a registration and qualification process with Creamaid, which means from the time you first visit the site, to the time you see some cash dropping into your paypal account, could be just a matter of hours.
