Advocates in Blogging Ethics

There is a concerned in American bloggers about the quality of the product or service reviews nowadays. Professionals bloggers said there are irresponsible bloggers who write a product review that is tainting the image of blogging industry.

They said blog are supposed to be written with honesty and integrity, discussing both negative and positive of the products or services. However, due to the money involve in reviewing company services like the offer of blogvertise, the blog owner write only the positive and unfairly describing the products quality and advantages.

Some bloggers are being directly approached by the PR company or the company themselves for freebies like concert ticket, sport ticket, company products etc just to write anything positive about the products.

These American bloggers also concern of the attitude of some bloggers in contacting either PR firm of company itself for a propose review of the products. They said it is the PR or the inbound call center company the should be approaching them and not the bloggers. It worry them that the business of blogging could bring cheaper value of information and services offered by quality blogger.

These are some reason why they have tainted the image of blogs throught the world. Because of this practice, the ethics of blogging is being pursue by the blog her organization.

Have you ever review any products or services? Did you ever question the company and its products quality before writing any review. In print and TV ads, it required some legal documents before they can review the products while in blogging, it required nothing to publish information in the internet.

This practice is not only curving advertising company their profits but also become source of unfair practice in doing business. Do you think blog review should have deregulation? Should blogger pass any certification or licenses before they can review or publish internet information?
