部落格行銷是近期所發展出的新行銷模式，在資訊負載量極高的現今，消費者對於業者所使用的行銷手法漸漸顯露疲態，因為這世界愈來愈缺乏信任。人們抗拒官方、正式的所有操作，包括企業的行銷手法。部落格成為新行銷管道，非正式的直接對話，緊緊扣住顧客的心。這是種用心換心的「信任行銷」。 本研究以Sirkka L. Jarvenpaa and Noam Tractinsky (2000)所提出消費者在線上商店的信任模型為基礎，用以探討信任的前因，並瞭解其對於消費者態度和知覺風險的影響。同時，根據Khaled Hassanein and Milena Head (2007)以及Huei-Huang Kuan and Gee-Woo Bock (2007)等學者對於信任前因的論點，探討部落格網站知覺的社會臨場感(perceived social presence)和口碑對於信任的影響。 本研究共有六項假設，利用國人自創品牌PlaiN在無名小站所架設的部落格做為研究對象，針對已知且曾瀏覽過PlaiN部落格的消費者做研究，透過網路問卷為媒介，回收問卷共235 份，有效問卷205 份。使用SPSS 與AMOS進行相關統計分析以及結構方程模式驗證。 本研究之問項經過分析之後，顯示良好的信度及效度，且六項假設皆成立。驗證了名聲、社會臨場感及口碑對於形成消費者信任有正向且顯著的影響、信任對於降低消費者知覺風險和增加購買意願有正向且顯著的影響、以及知覺風險的降低對於消費者購買的態度有正向且顯著的影響。 Nowadays blog marketing has newly developed as a marketing model.
