I think trafficv is more likely to base price on.

“It’s definitely an interesting system that goes a little further than most other blog advertising systems that I’ve seen (in that it not only makes you money but potentially sends you traffic) and one I’ll be keen to check out.”
Yes, Darren great news for the bloggers. Will you join? I could see http://www.creative-weblogging.com, http://www.bootsnall.com and http://www.allbusiness.com as beta partners. Interesting.

How are the blogs supposed to be hosting the ads? Javascript?

I can’t speak of the details about the commercial aspects, but can attest to increases in traffic. My Cash Flow blog at AllBusiness.com was picked up in this program at WashingtonPost.com. For a subtle listing, you can clearly see the increase in traffic.

Sanjen hit the nail on the head with his comment. Not only is pricing going to be a challenge, but the volume of blog submissions has been very high and it is a lot of information to sort through.

That for the post Darren!

I’m interested to know how they plan on pricing the ads on the blogs? Traffic, Influence, Page Rank, Blog Size?

Hopefully they’ll say more as the program develops. It appears to be a good idea and if it works it can become a nice little earner for the Washington Post and struggling bloggers :) alike.
