I think perhaps big-time advertisers are probably pursuing sponsorships on ads, but what about authenticity and transparency on blogs? Do these things play a factor in how the blogger decides who they can have on their site IF their blog becomes a high-traffic domain? Will people criticize the blogger for succumbing to the “greed of corporate America”? How can a journalist (professional or citizen) truly write about stuff sans bias without the issue about transparency lingering over their shoulder?

Of course I agree that brands probably don’t want to get mixed in with bloggers who trash each other and slander their compatriot’s good name to get a leg up on the competition.

“Do you think there should be some sort of certification or standard created for blogging?”

Of course not. If a blogger can’t conduct himself well, he will pay for it in the marketplace. Certification? By who?? That’s absurd.

@Allen , I agree that links are key but isn’t making money more important for a business? A business can have a line out the door and around the block but if they have nothing to sell, they are worthless.

remember that for a variety of blogs the current prize is links – that’s the key. if some other metric was the key for him or her, then that would be the key.

always remember this line from the honeymooners… you better be nice to people on the way up, because you are going to see the same people on the way down.
