I had the opportunity to chat with Mark Evans of the National Post about two favourite subjects, blogs and advertising.  The article came out last week (Friday)  (Thanks Om for blogging about it or I would've missed it!) and there is a small quote from me in there.
"Advertising is going to be big because advertisers are running out of good places to put ads, and blogs are such a good area," said Tris Hussey, a professional blogger and consultant. "It's going to be huge but it's untapped."
Blog Ads by ChitikaAnd this is so true.  Blogs are untapped, but also there is going to be backlash.  There are going to be lots of bloggers who resent seeing ads in posts and ads in feeds.  Well, there are lots of bloggers who are trying to make a living doing this, and writing commissions aren't the only solution.
 
A friend told me yesterday that I was also in the Globe and Mail last week, maybe Friday or Saturday, if anyone saw the article and could photocopy or scan it for my I would really appreciate it.  Of course a link is great too!  My mom loves to read this stuff.
