Forbes.com announced Monday the creation of a business and finance blog network, comprised of a community of pre-screened business and financial blogs.
Participation in the network is by invitation only, and all blogs are vetted by Forbes.com editors for appropriate content, and to ensure that they are in keeping with the Forbes editorial brand.
The network will allow advertisers to target a highly engaged, exclusive niche audience of senior business decision makers and affluent investors easily and effectively. Four hundred-plus blogs have already joined the network, with many more expected to sign on before the official launch in the next few weeks.
“There is no denying the growing importance and influence of blogs within the media landscape,” said Forbes.com president and chief executive officer Jim Spanfeller in a statement. “Forbes.com can ensure advertisers are reaching a hard-to-find and very desirable audience within safe, well-lit environments by exclusively inviting ‘best of breed’ business and investing bloggers to our new Business and Finance Blog Network.”

Too bad it's for invitation only. They should of held some open try-outs to the general public to be able to swoop up a couple of the spots. That would have been a lot better.
Having Forbes crowd my niche further isn't going to help but it goes to show even the big boys are adapting to blogs.
