If only it would be followed. I have yet to receive one PR pitch that was useful (that wasn't an offer to send me a book). If you are reading this and you are one of the companies paying money to these PR firms to acquire you some blog love, you are wasting money. The thing is, bloggers are always looking for an interesting angle to create interesting content. Take the time to read a few articles on the blog and then suggest something new that would fit within the framework. John, great advice. If only it would be followed.

Cath,

These folk would build a better business if they tried to build better relationships first. I get heaps asking for ebook reviews. They ones who think they're savvy will comment on your blog twice before sending the book. It's so predictable and annoying. I got one from someone who hadn't visited my blog for ages. They added a couple of comments then asked me to write a series of posts on their company in exchange for a commission if someone signed up to their new service. I found that one totally disrespectful. They seemed quite happy for me to lose all my readers and waste my hard work in exchange for them getting one or two customers.
