Some PageRank advice from Smorty.com

On a bit of a follow up to my PPP blog rejection I came across this bit of advise from Smorty.com with regards to Google PageRank.

"There have been some recent changes that Google have made with regard to sponsored postings.
Smorty would like to offer you some advice on this issue. Google has primarily targeted PayPerPost member blogs and reduced their Page ranks across the board. Although this WILL NOT REDUCE your rankings or readership, your blog will receive more campaign offers if it has a higher page rank. To prevent any future loss of page rank due to this issue you can take the following steps:

1. Remove all sponsored post tags on each of your posts. Google can follow these tags to determine if you are being paid for posts.
2. Remove any PayPerPost tags on your posts for "hire me" and "review me". Any general affiliate banners are fine to keep."

This might go some way of explaining why my PageRank is 0. On this advice I am going to remove all the PPP links that I have at the bottom of my posts. I know it might take me a bit of time but its going to be worth it.

Also some sponsored reviews require you to have a certain PageRank before you can accept them or be offered them. What with all the things that are going on with Google Ranking at the moment maybe some advertisers might have to review their criteria.

Personally I do not use adsense on this blog but like I have mentioned above you still need to have some PageRank to get sponsored reviews.
