I've written one paid post in the last 2 weeks simply because there are none available that I believe are worth the effort, much less $7. Advertisers aren't going for Izea/PPP's Real Rank- even though I'm in the Top 100 nothing has changed. They still believe Page Rank is more important. While I don't believe it is- I still think our traffic and traffic sources should prove we're worth more cash, Google has done a really great job making others believe PR is the end all for websites and blogs.

It went from PR5 to 3, then 0. Months back, an advertiser ordered a few ad spots to place her image ads. For $200, I inserted "nofollow" to all the images—but she's willing to make it to $300 just to remove the "nofollow".Good luck trying the plugin, hope we both will have an increase in PageRank.

I have made more money selling advertising space and explaining to advertisers that I charge %5 extra to remove the "nofollow" tags. Oddly enough, they seem to be opting to keep the no follow. Realizing I basically gave my PR away to companies who paid anywhere from $5-100 sickens me. I'll have to try the plugin and hopefully be able to request to be reinstated with Google.
