Blogger supports Google's AdSense service as a way of generating revenue from running a blog. Blogger also started integration with Amazon Associates in December 2009, as a service to generate revenue.[23] It was not publicly announced, but by September 2011 it appeared that all integration options had been removed and that the partnership had ended.[24] Windows Live Writer, a standalone app of the Windows Live suite, publishes directly to Blogger. Blogger can be optionally integrated with Google+.
