One thing advertisers may want to consider:
You're less likely to have takers for your ops if you use a lot of professional lingo that everyday bloggers aren't going to understand. I see quite a few ops sit there for months with very few takers because either the blogger doesn't understand what the advertiser is talking about, or the blogger knows the readers aren't going to know what they're talking about.
Word limits are another issue. Advertisers asking for 300 words for $5 don't typically have their ops filled in a timely fashion. Those sit for awhile. Although bloggers who ask for $100 words for $5 normally not only have their ops picked up almost immediately, but most bloggers will definitely give you more than your min word count. It might say 50 or 100 word min but most of us start talking and end up writing 200-300 words.
Oh and those tack ratings do mean something to bloggers. ;-) A lot of advertisers aren't rating the bloggers job performances. Out of over 60 ops, only 5 advertisers have taken the time to give me a tack rating. If you take the time to rate, you're going to get better bloggers in return. You can now specify a specific tack rating requirement on your ops, too.

It could be an SEO firm's tool. Knowing how PPP works and being able to craft and advertising opportunity which gets results is valuable. Many first time advertisers get the word min wrong or set the requirements too high/low. But someone with experience could broker their services to craft optimized Opps for their clients.
