As bloggers, we’ve all experienced it: the completely off topic pitch. There are even more bloggers.

Usually the best time to make an official blog post is right before your press release goes out. I would say that you would want to post it a few minutes or even a few hours (or up to an hour) before your press release is distributed. Share this on Technorati. Share this on Reddit. Stumble upon something good?

As someone who does public relations for companies, I’m sure you carefully pick your bloggers for the pitch. Bloggers have to weed out the crap and PR pros need to find the right people for the job. The job of someone who does blogger outreach can be difficult. We both have difficult jobs. That’s just fine.

And maybe then you submit a press release about it. There’s no SEO value to these comments (they’re nofollowed by default), and all this approach does is makes you lose credibility in the eyes of the blogger.
