I was checking the international blogosphere scene when this post by Scobleizer caught my attention.

If I am not mistaken, professional blogging is still a sunrise career or industry in the Philippines. I learned from the gurus that bloggers can earn thru ads and/or by being paid to write. Am not sure if the practice here is close to what is being done outside.

Indeed, the integrity of the blogger (and the blog) will be affected if the blogger will not disclose that s/he is being paid to write.

Earning thru blog is not the issue here, but observing ethical standards in blogging.
