Some blogs cover software only by being voted upon by the user , for example, and your press release won’t even fly for that category. If the post does not allow commenting, send a relevant press release to the editorial team showing that you have done your research and understand what the blog is looking for.

Blogging helps you build community (especially via comments), establish thought leadership, bring links to your website (both internally, perhaps to products or to other articles on your blog, and externally, when people like what you say and opt to link to you), and get you some nice traffic. Give to your community. Customer Service.

They’re tasked with contacting bloggers about different initiatives, sending out story ideas and “press releases&# (hopefully with a social component, since those are preferred by many bloggers).
