    That's funny... a Google search gets 117,000 hits on "Blogvertising" - and yet there is no Wikipedia entry... and you aren't getting much help here...

    I could try to find some helpful sites for you, but sorry, I don't have any real world perspective on this one...

    ... maybe one of our experts might want to start a Wikipedia page on this one...

    I'm not sure about the exact definition of Blogvertising but I'd love to share some thoughts about it.

    I find bloggers to be a very good source of Word-of-Mouth. They are looked upon as 'maven' (percieved as experts in certain areas) , that why people tend to spend their leisure time reading their blogs.

    With my assumptions, I would say blogvertsing would be 'advertising' articles written, reviewed by the bloggers themselves. It adds more credibility. If its just advertisment on their websites, it'll just be ignored (well, not always)

    I do visit some blogs and once in a while, the blogger would get some free stuff + request by the sponsors to write something about their experience. On a personal touch, I find it very effective compared to just renting an advertising space on the blog.

    Maybe you can do some research on this.

    Hope this help!
