Blogs sell display ads which are part of the big 41% slice of the pie chart. The smaller ones sell space entirely through AdWords--I think that's in the 41% as well, but I'm not sure.

What I don't know is what constitutes blog spending under the category of social media. Running your own company's blog? Outreach and free stuff aimed at influential bloggers? Astroturfing?

My blog gets plenty of readers but I refuse to make any money off of it. Maybe I'm out of touch with that reality.

The only type of ads I think look good on blogs are the ones from networks such as http://decknetwork.net and http://carbonads.net

Why do you refuse to make money with your blog?
