Blogging is now a sustainable business model for an increasing number of serious bloggers. PR and marketing are beginning to realise the potential of working with bloggers on campaigns, but the expectations and responses from both sides is wide and varied.

With the help of PR and bloggers, the Blogging Standards Association offers a platform for both sides to have their say and voice their opinions.

Together we’ll forge new guidelines that both sides can agree upon, helping to create a better working relationship.
