While you publish, P.U.B. is working to make sure blog platforms &amp;amp; blog 'Widgets' provide transparency on issues critical to success of Blog Publishers, including but not limited to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The business plan of blog platforms, blog widget providers;  all entities servicing Blog Publishers.&lt;br /&gt;2) The entities backing them. Now, when they change. Who are they and what are their motivations. What other entities are they affiliated with? Is their conflict of interest?&lt;br /&gt;3) How are these entities financed? Now? In the future?&lt;br /&gt;4) What are their long term prospects? Can a publisher trust incorporating them as a critical component of their work? What if the product fails? What is the risk? The reward?&lt;br /&gt;5) If they generate profit, what is this profit? What % is provided to the publisher responsible for the work; the reason the monetization is happening?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.U.B. represents Blog Publishers on big 'back end' issues critical to their success.
