My PR Experience - Part II

Continuing my PR experience...
After searching for a solution to recover Night Clicks PR, I came across a post from another blogger that had a similar experience. The post is called "How to get your Google Page Rank Back?" and you can read it in:
http://www.bigfootwebmarketing.com/2008/03/15/how-to-get-back-your-google-page-rank-request-for-reconsideration/
I followed the post advice and in the first week of May I applied the following measures:
~ I changed all the paid links to nofollow links by adding a simple tag in the HTML code;
~ I asked for reconsideration, there´s a feature in Google webmasters page that allows you to e-mail them. I sent an e-mail explaining that I had made the necessary changes in my blog to cope with Google Webmasters guidelines.

Google aswered my request in a week time and gave Night Clicks PR 1. Not much, but better than a zero. This happened last May and had a big affect on my earnings trough paid posts. When I had PR 4 I had many opportunities, more than I could handle, but with PR0 or 1 it´s very difficult to earn three figures.
In the recent PR update that took place in July, Night Clicks recovered to PR 2, my actual PR. I´m trying not to lose it again so I adopted a more rigorous link policy.

Maybe some don´t see paid posts with good eyes. I think it´s ok to do them as long as you keep posting other good content. I see this option of earning some income like any other type of blog advertising with a difference: you´re using content to promote advertisers instead of banners or contextual ads (and maybe earn more with it than with other ways). You just have to decide for yourself if you want to use it or not, but it´s good you aknowledge the PR problems you might encounter. To be honest, when I realised it is very difficult to have both PR and link revenue I was very devided. I avoided selling links in my sidebar but I see other bloggers doing it and not being penalized for that, which is not fair.
I´m still devided, I don´t use affiliate schemes much, I don´t sell any product or service and I´m not earning more money because of the PR issue. If I have to choose between PR and money I´m tempted to choose money because I have 3 other blogs where I blog mostly for fun. Since April 2008, Night Clicks became my best source of income and I´d like to keep it that way.
If you had to choose between money and PR, knowing it´s hard to have both doing sponsored posts, what would you do?
