P.U.B. [Publishers Union of Bloggers] has pending inquires to Widget Providers concerning how they generate their income and what percentage of this income goes to the Blog Publisher making the critical decision to allow a Widget on their site for their readers. In addition we are requesting transparency on the critical issue of how the private statistic from Publishers Blogs are being used, hopefully with the Publisher’s permission!</p><p>For example, P.U.B. expects to heard back from Lijit on these financial and private statistics issues from P.U.B’s inquiry we sent to Lijit in mid April 2008. When we do we will let great Blog Publishers like you know their deal.</p><p>Will publish these results to keep the community of Blog Publishers informed on this critical component of Widgets on our Blogs. Thanks again for being a great WAHM!</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Barney Moran<br>Founder, P.U.B.<br>Facilitator, Daddy Boot Camp, Boulder, CO</p><p></p>Barney MoranFri, 11 Jul 2008 00:06:49 -0000
