I am still on the fence, though, as far as what to do about my side job of paid posts. I've made some decent money since starting to do paid ads in September and it hurts to see that all dry up and blow away because Google decided to start taking on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. I guess my biggest dilemma is that the only reason I would give two hoots about getting my PR4 back is so that I could get better paying opps again but if I put the "link condoms" in then I'm violating the TOS of PPP, Blogvertise, etc. Why pay me for links that don't work? And why care about my PR if it's only to get back advertisers that I don't allow links to? It's a Catch 22 so I just don't know. I haven't done any PPP in the last few days because the opps are pretty pathetic and RealRank really isn't doing anything yet but I have my fingers crossed that things will turn around at some point in time. If not, well ... it was a good ride while it lasted! Good luck to you in getting your PR back - don't forget to go and ask Google on bended knee to restore it for you!

The main problem with RealRank is that it is still optional for advertisers, and many of them are still fixated on PageRank! Since I am now using "NO FOLLOW" on EVERY link, I can't use paid-to-blog programs anymore - which is okay, because I'm going to get a "real" job! I've never used Adsense, because I don't get traffic enough to generate the clicks you need for a payout. :) I didn’t make my target in October or November, which really had a lot to do with my time constraints and personal obligations.

Blogsvertise were still offering $10 opps even when I dropped PR, smorty have gone quiet and I only seem to get $5 opps at PPP, because my traffic is not that great. I think we might find that the worst paid bloggers will slope off and the 'cream' will be left still blogging, the PR balance will change and the opps will come back. It is in PPP's interest to find a solution to this problem - I'm just glad I made my $300 target this month before the gravy train ran out.... My monthly summary post is going to write itself this month... I spotted you have tagged me with the desktop theme... I will try to remember to do it later today from my home PC- I'm just trying to decide which desktop to show people... I suppose if the blogging community wanted to splap google back they could all remove adsense off their blogs (leaving the blogs with no monetisation at all!!) How about this for an idea... a Google Adsense strike for a month... if all paid bloggers removed adsense for a month - I wonder how much Google would suffer as a consequence - after all we are Google customers too...

I guess I just feel totally pessimistic at this point because I won't be able to make any money - a lot of the opps are gone and my blog has even been removed from databases on some of my favorite sites because of my drop in PageRank.
