Ahh, the sweet smell of the evolution of an industry. Just a short 6 months ago, selling advertising on blogs was a fairly risky affair. As likely to get you money as to get you ostracized.

As long-time readers will know I tried several methods, including BlogAds, to generate enough cash to cover hosting fees. Well, several prominent bloggers have begun looking at ways to maximize the resource that is their blog.

Both Jeremy Z and Wine Boy have recently begun this search. I’m sure they’ll likely hit a few false starts, as everyone does, but I wish them all the best. Blogs, and bloggers, are maturing. The quality of what we’re offering is increasing. The value of our adveritising space will only go up.

Advertisers are smart to get in now, while it’s still cheap.
