The old-fashioned "social media purist" in me says that the fake stuff will never have the power of the real stuff. But as social media becomes more and more mainstream, it might be that the expectations change. For now, I think astroturfing is still too risky (plus it's lame). There's always a savvy user somewhere who spots the 10 weirdly bright, flat comments from the same IP address and calls you on it. If you can't get a few people passionate enough about your thing to evangelize it for real, go back and get more remarkable. <em>Maybe</em> Pepsi or Nike could get away with the paid model to create buzz, but a smaller business without the support of superbowl ads and mass media storytelling stands to gain much more by going organic.

The pay for poster model seems to run under the radar, although its a fairly common practice by many to accellerate growth to reach critical mass where the community becomes self sustaining. The get the free deal model is a lot more overt and common. Neither model lends itself to significant participant passion in the community, albeit the best pay for post participants are passionate about their subject area. Organic growth otoh can and does work wonders in the passion and sustainability domain, the problem is getting from A to B. My preference over the last 4 years has been organic, albeit in many ways, those who used the revenue short cut seem to have done very well. As social media evolves, what are folks thoughts? Will the less than geniune methods fall out of favor, or will they grow as folks clamor for more and more of the pie as quickly as possible?
