Britt Bravo recently blogged some great tips to help convince bloggers to blog your cause. Amber jumped in with a comment about someone who sent her a nasty email when she didn’t blog about his product. (and I teased her about being patient because BlogHer was in the process of blogging about a topic that she really wanted blogged)
And I thought that was the end of me thinking about how to get people to blog about you. Or how you’re treated when you do blog someone after they’ve sent you a link and a link to a press release. Nope that wasn’t the end, it was only the beginning…
Do not send “me” a link to a new blog and a press release about the new blog and then, after “I’ve” blogged it, email me because I did not mention the relationship of the blogger to the company she’s now blogging for. I don’t really care about the company she’s blogging for – I care about the blogger and the topic she’s blogging about. Period. If that isn’t enough for you… go ask someone else to blog you.
(updated to say that my grouchy post has absolutely nothing to do with Amber, it was just a coincidence that Britt blogged the topic, Amber and I sort of discussed it and then… )
Heh. For once I *didn’t* think this post was about me being a jerk! 😉
Scandalous! Some people have no shame…
