I am interested in taking part in your fascinating experiment. I have four blogs, but only two are PPP blogs. My Page Rank for my two PPP blogs was 4 and 3, but I lost the 4 in October, and I had the 3 for a full two weeks before Google killed it. My other two non-PPP blogs just recently were indexed (they are new) and both got PR 0, which I found quite odd.

Feel free to email me or comment on my blogs to leave instructions or a comment. I’m very interested in reading about what you discover. Thank you.

[...] There was a lot of discussion about the good old paid link topic last week. Patrick Altoft opened with some examples showing that paid links still work (which was later backed up by Brian Combs), before unleashing a discussion about whether to report paid links or not. Turned out that 83% (including me) don’t report paid links. [...]

I had neither the knowledge nor the resources to run a genuine experiment, but luckily Brian Combs of Apogee Search does and he did just that. You can read his results in his blog post: PayPerPost Blog Links Still Impact Google Rankings. Here’s the most salient points- Clearly, the claims that PPP blogs have lost all ability to pass link juice have been definitively proven false. [...]

[...] You can read the entire article that Brian Combs posted entitled PayPerPost blog links still impact Google rankings at the Apogee Search blog. Further testings are planned to better evaluate just what the effect on the blogosphere is. This is something that does effect the blogosphere as a whole, not only those who post paid advertising on their blogs, since many sites that never had anything to do with PayPerPost were affected and even some sites that to my understanding had never sold links within their postings.

[...] Today, Brian Combs posted a link to his study or test of the effect of Lord Google’s punishment to PPP blogs (and others). The punishment given by Lord Google was he took away his holy blessings (pagerank) from these blogs (dropped to pagerank 0) which made these blogs unable to take anymore opportunities from PPP and other sites that offer “get paid to blog” services.
