If you have a moment today, please click on over to From Dates to Diapers for a peak at my first ever guest post. Christine, one of my favorite Mommy bloggers, asked me a couple days ago to write a little bit on how PR selects certain blogs for engagement; Never one to miss an opportunity to talk openly about blog outreach, I was happy to do so.

Based on your criteria, it’s a lot about relevance by choosing carefully bloggers whose themes are closely related to what you want to pitch to them. Do you use any tool for that?

@ecairn Only common sense and intuition. There’s no quick tool for blogger outreach because it’s all about building relationships.

oh I read that post last week….I thought it was really good. I never really got the who concept, but this really helped me understand.

I think it was great that you took the time to address this. I had written about some of the hype surrounding ‘mommyblogging’ on my own blog several weeks ago. I was addressing more of the the time and energy factor verses the money and coll stuff factor in my stroy. But, I think this is very interesting. I am sure it will be appreciated by many!
