Their readers have 133 Million other blogs to choose from, and chooses them.  Which means that the blog better be very good and provide a great deal of value.

To reinforce this theory: The best way to establish relationships and get good press with bloggers is to interact, comment and give opinions.  It’s perfectly fine to disagree, respectfully of course.  Have an idea? Tell them!  In this case, think like Dale Carnegie, The most important thing to a person is their name.  You should be thinking: “How can I help them, would they like this, I need to share this!”  Consistent commenting and relationship building will lead to posts on great press and then increased sales.
