		<description>Have you checked out PayU2Blog? Lower paying opportunities but PR isn&#039;t an issue and you also get products to review and stuff.</description>

		<description>Michael:  Jantics and Jantrails are BOTH zeroes now, though for some reason my sidebar widget still says three.  All the other PR-checkers say it&#039;s a zero.</description>

		<description>I just noticed my PR went from 3 to 0 and headed straight over here to see if yours was affected too.

Now of course all the higher paying PPP opps are out of my reach until advertisers start using real rank.

My Blogspot blog has stayed at 3 for now.</description>

		<description>But I&#039;m still REALLY confused as to why MY page rank went to a zero on &quot;Get Your Blog On!&quot;  I have never done a paid per post...ever.  What could be the explanation there?  It can&#039;t be links to others that have PPP because then your &quot;Jannaverse&quot; should have been penalized.  I&#039;m SO confused.  Is Google that insidious that they found their way into my head when I was just conisdering doing PPP??</description>

		<description>Metalmom: My back pain keeps me from doing a lot of things too.

Marilyn:  Well said!

Morgen:  Awww.  C&#039;mere and gimme a hug.

Katherine: Feel free to e-mail me any time, anywhere, about anything!

Travis:  Amen, brother!  Rally the troops!  Light the torches!  (Well, maybe we shouldn&#039;t light too many torches if there are a lot of farts around....)</description>

		<description>Fart?  That&#039;s my word verification?  I was feeling all serious and now I&#039;m giggling.

Anyway, I think that the more people who make posts about their disaffection with what G***** has done the better.  Somehow the message has to get to them.</description>

		<description>On a side note…I was the caller who said getting sucked into…but I used that with the words seductive and lure….meaning I am very tempted to join those who write sponsored posts….because I could use the extra income…since I am writing on the weblog anyway.   I never implied that writing paid posts was anything to be ashamed of…and enjoy quite a few of them.  I believe the only negative thing I mentioned was when a dozen or so weblogs I read all post for the same item at the same time…and that I found it kinda funny.

I didn’t say it should be “something we should guard against getting ‘sucked into’”….I said it was a temptation I was trying to avoid.</description>
