I had two weeks with a PR 4, which was nice. Now, the opps are harder to come by, but they're really still there. I'm seeing more that require RealRank instead of PR. Entrecard has helped me there. I have gotten a lot more traffic and even hit top 30% of blogs. Google slapped me down, too. I had two weeks with a PR 4, which was nice.

I just couldn't let this go unanswered. And a little advice: Google will have you too if you keep running similar-looking Bidvertiser ads next to theirs. Nice blog, btw!

Øyvind: Oh, I understand what you're saying, and I agree with you up to a point. But: 1. Google are more sophisticated than that. They don't want people to buy/sell links using their PR, not because they think people are tricked, but because they want to keep the buying/selling link business to themselves. 2. You're insulting peoples intelligence. I have ads and badges for ppp companies plastered all over my sidebar, as well as a disclosure that clearly states that some of my posts/links are paid for. If readers click a link, they do it out of choice. Also, if I do offer an opinion, it's my honest opinion, and I think I'm entitled to one, even if I'm paid to put it on my blog. As for contextual links - they're words put into context. The context is always genuine on my blog, the link is an extra. Again, if people click it, they do it out of choice. My content is my own, always. 3. If you believe everything you read in your morning paper to be squeeky clean, unbiased and unpaid for in one way or another, please tell me its name, and I'll subscribe. At least, my links are highlighted and easy to identify... Mommie, Jolene, Comedy: Thank you.

And that is what Google thinks about it as well. Lets say you read a nice piece of political review in the paper a morning, in it they carefully slips a product in. Later you find out that the "political review" was only a piece written to fulfil an assignment payed by ScrudyBoodyru. (fiction product) Wouldn't that be misleading, kind of wrapping an ad inside a news-story to get more people to read the ad? How will the blogosphere look like if all go PPP? The point is, if you have to lure people to read an ad, it should be considered as spam. People don't like to be lured, and people are customers of Google. If other advertisers in the newspaper you read that morning finds out that they also get payed pr post, they will quit buying ads in that paper. Ooops sorry about the long comment. :) Hi there, no offence but you should stay clear of PPP, its not nice to lure people like that. And that is what Google thinks about it as well.

Are you set up for Izea rankings? That is what PPP is using now instead of google PR. I haven't had my blog long enough to get approved on PPP(those dang 90 days! LOL), but I'm already set up with the Izea ranking, and my friend who was getting almost nothing at PPP because of the whole google PR thing is getting a lot now that she has their ranking set up.

It does suck. I've never done any paid posts, but know folks who were making a nice stack of side money. Them bam...Lost their ranking and there went the good ads. Not fair at all. :( I’m sorry that this has happened to you again. It does suck. I’ve never done any paid posts, but know folks who were making a nice stack of side money.
