I can't say much now, because I'm taking a month off to figure out what my blog really wants to be, but I wonder if this is a common problem for bloggers or if it is unique to the very, very top bloggers. And if it helps, I must say I have been able to avoid this issue altogether by keeping my daily page views to a reasonably low level. :) So, I’m only wondering this one thing, because I haven’t been blogging that long and maybe I don’t know my way around this place, but am I the only blogger that DOESN’T get hounded by PR folks?

Also, I agree with @tabz, it is good to try on the other shoe for awhile. Being a PR blogger, you would be amazed at the really off the wall pitches that I get. It is a good reminder every day. Wait, more like 50 times a day...but who is counting? ;-) Hmmm, let me see, are you saying you are tired of this particular meme? lol.

At this point when people try to send me products I just tell them that if they read the "reviews" I'd written they would run and hide. Recently actually I wrote a scathing review crucifying this marketing email I got about some kids audio tape. A week later I got another email from them reminding me that I should write about them. I'm all "Do you f-cking even *read* my blog? Did you read where I wrote that "I would rather have my eardrums chewed on by wild bears than to have to listen to these hyper-emotional characters. Are they undiagnosed manic depressives? Are they drunk? Emo?" I'm still getting marketing emails from them. Amen.

Most agencies and marketing companies in my experience have no clue what to do with bloggers and keep making promises to their clients that they have this whole social media thing down. I hope your post resonates with them and maybe they will actually take it to heart. :) Great post as usual.

The two that got me in the past week were the one addressed to "Dear Name Not Available" and the one advertising free samples of Clean & Clear so I could have great skin for the prom. Ugh. So true.
