going away anytime soon.\u00a0 In fact, the world of blogging is growing to include more and more influential voices every day.\u00a0 This is an audience that can have a significant effect in word-of-mouth marketing and brand advocacy, but according to the report, 64% of bloggers believe they are treated &#8220;less professionally by brand representatives than are the traditional media.&#8221;\u00a0 In fact, only 33% of bloggers who responded to the Technorati survey indicated that a brand has ever approached them to write about their business, products, services, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like a significant opportunity is being overlooked by most brands.\u00a0 Instead of brands engaging bloggers who have established broad reaches across the online space, many brands are still ignoring bloggers.\u00a0 Given the fact that, as the 2010 State of the Blogosphere reports (see the chart below), bloggers are more than willing to write about brands they approve of, proactively interacting with them can only help a brand.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35589 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 584px;
