Introduction: NextStage Evolution (NSE) performed a two-year analysis (Jan 2007 through Jan 2009) of some 150 blogs (see Appendix A: Blogs Studied for a list of the blogs researched). The blog topics ranged from pure science to research to business to media to self-help to political to personal. Knowledge domains covered in the blogs ranged from marketing to new communications to entrepreneurial to personal- and life-counseling to linguistics to astrophysics to economics and more.

The research focus was to learn key features of optimal blogging. NSE uses the term "optimal" blogging to denote blogging that serves blogger, blog audience and sponsor in roughly equal measure, meaning that all parties feel they have received fair (note: not "equal") value for their efforts.1 The blogger feels rewarded for the time they put into researching, writing, posting and responding to comments. The blog audience feels rewarded for their time reading and commenting on the blog. Lastly, the sponsor is rewarded according to some business rules that exist between themselves and the blogger and which are usually metricized via any number of analytics tools.
