I've decided not to try pay per post. I'll use a different way to add money and value to the site. As miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG said and you… I’ve decided not to try pay per post.

From PR 5 my blog dropped to nothingness.. i.e. PR ZERO overnight. And that's how it stayed for over 2 months, till it gradually began to pick-up again, probably based on a fresh batch of incoming links. It's not a pretty sight - specially when PageRank is something (however flawed it might be) that almost every blogger swears by and is sort of a standardised measure of how popular your blog is. In case, if you still want to go ahead with other paid post services, make sure your site doesn't contain any sort of: 1. Disclaimers stating you take money in exchange for posts. 2. In-posts disclosures with words like sponsors and it's synonyms. 3. In-post links to the paid blogging services (PPP, SponsoredReviews, ReviewMe etc.) - this one's a dead giveaway. Keeping affiliate / referral buttons to such sites is all right. You won't get penalized for them. But for the posts, you need to be ultra-sneaky :D @Richard McLaughlin: Damn that man - for just a single post!!! At least I had around 19 posts under my hood. But then again my loss was greater too.

Google dropped me from a 3 to a 0 for one post. As I type the site is still a zero. I have removed the "offending" post and asked Google to reconsider. if you use pay per post you will lose your page rank. Google dropped me from a 3 to a 0 for one post.
