Blogging software company Six Apart Now offer advertising network to its members! Which is a new income source for Bloggers using their products, like Movable Type (which Jerry Ong Community used), TypePad, VOX, LiveJournal.

The goal for Six Apart: become a one-stop shop for bloggers big and small who want to make money on their musings. The revamp positions Six Apart to compete with blogging agencies like Federated Media, which sells ad campaigns for its member blogs, and Google Ad Words, which lets bloggers slap text ads on their sites. Says Six Apart CEO Chris Alden, “We’re giving [bloggers] a third option. Our goal is to provide a better experience and more money.”

As part of the restructuring plan announced, Six Apart will form two new business units. The first, Six Apart Media, will tackle advertising. Bloggers can make money on their blogs by advertising with Six Apart. The company will partner with social media ad network Adify to develop advertising.

The second new business unit, Six Apart Services, will offer consulting for design and optimization to large publishers and corporate customers. “We’ve been selling ads against blogs for years,” says Alden. “We have more experience in how you bring high-end advertising to a large network of blogs.”
