Today, there are young bloggers who have their own websites and blogs.

This turns bloggers sour, thinking that everyone in public relations or blogger outreach is just a spammer. It’s time consuming to look at which bloggers to target, read posts, and then write a personal message to the blogger along with the actual pitch.
