All of us who did paid postings have been smacked real hard and I suppose I won’t ever see anymore ranks in future. However, Izea came up with IZEARanks which promises to give real ranks to real blogs. So, it does seem like there is light at the end of the tunnel for paid blogging. But we have to let the blogosphere knows about IZEARanks so that more advertisers will adopt this method.

How does IZEARanks works? Well, it uses a piece of javascript to collect and report a rank based on our actual traffic. Therefore, in my opinion this will reflect a more decent way of measuring how much a site is worth. For example, if you are paying to advertise on a blog, you will want to make sure that the site receives decent traffic and not only rank nicely using other method of measurement.

But do you know that IZEARanks is not only for bloggers who are registered with PPP? It is for all blogs and all you need is to sign up, insert the javascript and see how you rank in the blogsphere. You have a choice of making your traffic public or make it private for your own references.

As for us posties, we are looking forward to the no-follow tag to be adopted. When IzeaRanks start this trend, I hope all the other paid post companies will do the same. This way, we will no longer be afraid of being smacked with a PR 0 again. Why not surf over to IZEARanks.com and take a look at what they have to offer.

Hey, if your blog is hot, you even stand a chance to win $1,000 if you rank #1 on IZEARanks.
