comScore: Blog readers engage with food, clothing ads
Not all blog advertising is created - or watched - equally. According to a recent comScore report, blog readers are more likely to read and be affected by ads related to specific products like clothes and food.
The news could change how social marketers create ads and which products they choose to advertise on blogs and vlogs.
According to the report, ads for low cost products, food and beverage and clothing ads are more likely to get a response from social networkers than ads for high priced items like financial services or pharmaceutical products.
comScore discovered the difference and then launched a new measurement tool that will help marketers determine how ads on social sites can be more effective. The platform offers audience numbers and can even give advertisers a kind of picture of readers who populate blogs.
"The whole space is evolving," said Andrew Lipsman, senior analyst for comScore. "This product won't change the marketing message of advertisers as much as the product categories that advertise on blogs and niche content sites."
By obtaining a clearer picture of who is visiting a blog, marketers can better predict how an online campaign will fare and can make changes more quickly to adjust to how campaigns are doing once they are launched.

I am a huge fan of this store called Susie's Deals! They carry clothes for everyone, men's, women's, and kids too. I always know that I can walk in to one of their stores a come out with a big bag of really cute stylish stuff for $25! Everything in the store is sold for $5.99 or less and you can even find things that are 2 for $5.99! I have bought some really nice name brand things at this store and given them to friends and family for Christmas. People have NO idea that these nice items only cost me $5.99 each .. It's Awesome! I urge you to check them out, because you only have one store on your site that carries clothing and this store appeals to everyone! And they have a web site where you can also shop online or snatch an e-coupon to use at the store, and if you spend $50 the shipping is FREE which is a definite plus! They have a website and stores in Utah, Nevada, and California.
