Subsequent return on investment backed by blogger perhaps (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

posterior

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'subsequent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'by blogger perhaps' is the wordplay.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'blogger' becomes 'poster' (a blogger is someone who 'posts' online).
'perhaps' becomes 'ior' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'poster'+'ior' is 'POSTERIOR'.

'return on investment backed' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for posterior that I've seen before include "Behind" , "Further back; bottom" , "Stern" , "later" , "Hindquarters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
