PPP Realrank

The new order may take some getting used to, but the prince of all paid posting schemes PayPerPost has been severely 'slapped' by Google - the king of all things internet (King/Dictator -take your pick...). The method that Google has taken is to lower or remove PageRank from blogs left right and centre, many of them even without a PPP post on them, though the consensus is that PPP was the real target.
Before we all start whining,we should bear in mind that this will affect PPP far more than it will just one individual paid poster... Maybe you have a case if you earn a living by paid posting, but Google giveth, Google taketh away.... If you live by PageRank, you have to take the consequences, He that liveth by PageRank will die by Pagerank... Okay, I'm out of lame quotes now, no more honest...
Now PPP have devised their own ranking system based on traffic, the question everyone is asking is 'Is it good to have high RealRank or low RealRank?' The answer is apparently: LOW- why because it really is a 'rank' as in 'He is ranked number one in the world...' The rank only applies if you have PPP tools Now ITK (Izea Tool kit) on your blog, and will work like this:
Let's say there are 10,000 people with ITK on their blog, you are ranked 999, this puts you in the top 10% (like a PR rank of 9), if you are ranked 9,999, you're in the bottom 10% equivalent rank 1 - or maybe it's 1 and 10 or o and 9, not really sure, but you hopefully get the idea...
As yet, we are not told how many blogs have ITK, so you can't tell where your relative position is, but this will apparently become transparent in the fullness of time.

Nice post, I got a rough idea of what the idea is after reading on their blog. Though it would be nice to see where we ranked compared to other.

I have found out that I am in the top 300, but my opportunities are zilch.
