History
After its founding in August 2002, Blogads pursued clients within the burgeoning political blog scene in the run-up to the 2004 Presidential Elections and assembled a network of over 500 bloggers, including many influential political bloggers. Despite questions as to whether or not blog advertising, and Blogads' model specifically, could withstand a drop in readership after the elections, blog advertising, and Blogads with it, has flourished, particularly with an influx in money from the 2008 election cycle. During the time period between the presidential election cycles, Blogads used its increased market influence to attract bloggers from outside the political realm to include blogs about video games, sports, food, beauty, and celebrities. Blogads also provides ad services to video bloggers, as YouTube and video podcasting encourage a rise in the movement.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
