64% Of Marketers Are Interested In Advertising On Blogs
Interesting feature by Reuters today into Blogs and advertising with some hopeful news for entrepreneurial bloggers who are good/lucky/workaholic/well-connected enough to generate large levels of traffic...
Buczaczer expects a handful of blogs will develop an audience large enough to secure more substantial ad dollars this year. A wave of companies will also start blogs to create more immediate links to consumers in the near term, he said.
As many as 64 percent of marketers are interested in advertising on blogs, according to a Forrester Research study, though their investment would still be a fraction of the $14.7 billion expected to be spent on Internet ads this year.
Another 57 percent are looking to include marketing messages on RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds which allow a viewer to see instantly updating headlines from news, Web logs and other sites via a simple Internet browser.
Of course the average blogger won't generate the traffic needed to attract A-list advertisers - however as bigger bloggers break through and prove the value of blogging as a way to convey an advertising message I suspect that we'll see more opportunities for the medium sized blog to surf the advertising wave also.
