Trend: Pay me money to blog, I'm a blogger
The past year has given rise to a number of services that offer advertisers the ability to pay bloggers to post about certain products or services. While there was initially quite a backlash by the blogging community over issues such as disclosure and forced-positive reviews, other companies have sprung up to make the service more ethical and transparent.
With traditional marketing failing, many advertisers are turning to bloggers, who have been proven to deliver excellent results through 'pseudo word of mouth marketing'.
PayPerPost.com, and ReviewMe.com are two of the most prominent players in this field.
