Blog Rates?

This item was posted to SPJ's discussion board and since the writer never got an answer, I thought I would post it here and see if we have better luck:

Anyone out there know what a fair rate is for blogging – ie when a company's Web site officially publishes your blog on contract?
Let's say you blogged six 300-word articles a month for six months – what would be a fair rate to charge?

I charge a minimum of $1 a word; see what they are willing to pay.

I don't think blogs pay as well as print publications or even as well as online publications. I seriously doubt you could get $1 a word for blogging, but it doesn't hurt to negotiate. However, I don't know the going rate.
I believe this might be a good question for the media bloggers association
