DonXML has brought up a new idea on supporting blogging communities. The short of it is to allot sponsors a blog entry in your main feed and then to also create a seperate blog just for sponsors. I like the idea, and one of the points I think is important is this one:
"Also long as the ads are done in a similar style to the rest of the site, it will fit in with the site and not take away from it."
On the weblogs.asp.net feed Paschal pretty much already does this. He markets products all the time and those products gain some buzz. The thing is, he writes about them as if he is analyzing them and then only provides one or two images at the most.
This doesn't bother me and I think that it would provide good exposure for possible sponsors.
Good idea, Don.
