Yahoo is expected to announce that it has signed a deal with Gawker Media to host content from Nick Denton's Weblogs, carrying up to seven posts a day each of five blogs - Gawker, Wonkette, Gizmodo, Defamer and Lifehacker - writes ClickZ. Terms were not disclosed. Blog distribution deals are becoming common, emerging as a model for blog publishers to work with big media. Yahoo has a similar arrangement with the Huffington Post. Gawker distributes content in Europe in partnership with VNU Media.

Yahoo spokesman Brian Nelson said Gawker's content will pass through a language filter to eliminate profanity before being republished.
