What are experienced bloggers saying about submitting blogs to PPP?

Experienced paid-posting bloggers are weighing in as a result of Google’s zero-ranking in November. I posted a poll at the GeekySpeaky Forums, an independent message board primarily frequented by bloggers like myself, those actively engaged in writing paid reviews through brokered marketplaces. The results surprised me:
You can read the thread at geekyspeaky.com. Most of the comments are from bloggers in favor of submitting their blogs, with only one from the “No” camp giving a reason for their decision.
My view: I only care about PR because advertisers care. There are certain blogs that command higher advertising dollars by making direct deals. If I had a blog in these niches, no, I would not submit. I have other blogs for which I’ve been unsuccessful in making direct deals. I would submit these blogs, knowing full well the risks of a zero-ranking.
(Without advertising and caring about PR, I would have far fewer blogs, but would be posting just as frequently and creating a muddle of the blogs I would have. Advertising convinced me to separate my interests and create what I believe are range of much stronger blogs - the sum of the parts being greater than the whole, to turn a phrase. This focus of this specific blog would probably be the only subject area I would not be covering.)
Would you submit a non-monetized blog with a positive PageRank to Izea/PPP, knowing what you know now? Would you submit the same blog to other marketplaces (Sponsored Reviews, ReviewMe, Linkworth, etc), but not PPP?

It doesn’t matter which paid blogging site you used, most people took a hit, so I know I wouldn’t change which sites I used.

In light of the events over the last two months regarding paid posting with no no follow I’m more apt to be less enthusiastic of new Google products.
My “flag ship” blog is the one I would blog on even if there was not another penny to be made. I have a second blog that doesn’t do as well traffic wise, yet, but is more internet/tech/blog orientated. Both are PPP blogs. I’m very happy with my relationship with PPP and the motivation it provides me to be a better blogger and work on driving traffic.
Yes, I would. I have one blog that I have been gearing up for ppp. The only thing that I will do differently with this one is only take opps on it that require nofollow.
