DESCRIPTION FROM THE PUBLISHER
After years of experience as both a blogger and a marketer, I have compiled a list of the Top 10 Tips for creating a successful blogger relations program. I would love to hear any comments or additions to the document from other avid bloggers. Another great reference is my blog post on "How Not To Pitch a Blogger at http://navelmarketing.com/2008/09/05/how-not-to-pitch-a-blogger. For those interested in blogging, this will help you better understand how the blogosphere works.

Hi Brian,
I work for Yudu, and have been helping out in the marketing side of things. I found your publication very enlightening, and I believe it is sometimes the case that company marketing departments forget that the 'blogosphere' is a community of very intelligent, opinionated and passionate people. If they weren't they wouldn't be blogging! With regards to this, I now better understand the 'blogosphere' and the need to approach bloggers very thoughtfully, and meticulously, taking a real interest in what they are blogging about. After all, marketing departments should be interested in what they blog about if they seek the blogger's marketing help...is that not correct?
Kind regards,
Charlie
