		<description>I agree with this post.  

I think more advertisers should consider opening up to the smaller blogs though (not specifically me, I don&#039;t do that much advertising only 2 a month), but the smaller blogs are starting to have a larger influence as the blogosphere grows.</description>

		<description>[...] Check out this post regarding paying a blogger to review your site and/or product. It has very good recommendations if you are considering this. My personal favorite is the part about not asking us to sign up for your product. Usually, as soon as I see that, I am no longer interested in the opp (unless it is high paying). It is not usually worth my time. [...]</description>

		<description>&quot;Requesting for a few buzz words and certain verbiage is fine as long as it doesn’t seem like the post will look doctored by you and not actually written by the blogger. Which in the end will hurt the bloggers credibility and your review as well.&quot;

From the reading end this is a vital thing to remember - I have seen several very readbale blogs crumble under the weight of sponsored posts. It does destroy any credibility and most of their readability.</description>

		<description>[...] I read a great post about realistic expectations advertisers should take into consideration when asking for a post. The only other thing I would suggest is always ask for an open tone. Even if someone blogs something not so nice about your wares, at least you know how to make your products better and have them retested. Any publicity is good publicity. Work up a relationship with the bloggers. See if you can get more answers about your products. There is never harm in getting honest opinions. It can only help you out in the long run. Let them know:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. [...]</description>
