Abstract
The continuum emission components of Seyfert galaxies and quasars are reviewed with a particular emphasis on the correlations observed between these components. It is shown that the blue bump emission which is observed in Seyfert galaxies and quasars and not in BL Lac type objects is not hidden in the latter objects by a strong beaming of the jet emission. The shape of the blue bump is described and some consequences of these observations for the interpretation of this component are given. The relationship between the X-ray emission of quasars and the radio beaming properties of the object should be re-visited when the shape of the soft excess emission can be better established.
