Today I talk with  Ted Murphy Ceo (Just love the fun aspect of these sites) and founder of Izea a social media marketing company that I have on my watchlist as I like how they are developing. I invited Ted to talk about

• The importance of colour in brand engagement
• Do blogging and advertising really go together?
• What value does advertising have for the blog reader?
• How can pay for post work for your brand, and what is the risk of paying people to talk about your brand negatively!
• Cloudshout....Are we moving from adverts to sponsored web walks, people can see the sites I visit and if I bring people with me, I get paid?
• Are bloggers almost in danger of exploiting the consumers just like firms did with "in your face" advertising?
• Is the recession great news for web companies, does it give you the "excuse" to start monetarising the web?
• Why Ted believes that advertising in social media is a great return on investment for companies.
