Getting bloggers to blog about our site

    Ok, this is a very weird request, and I won't be surprised if folks call for my lynching. But....I'm going to talk about it anyway. :D

    I need your help in building out a strategy....

    One of the strategies I have developed for increasing use of my uploadFX site is to get bloggers to blog about it. It's free, easy-to-use, no limits, bla bla bla. I personally think it'd make great blog material.

    My question is this: how do you approach a blogger and ask them to mention your site? I'm thinking many of them would see it as unethical - is that a pretty accurate assumption? Have any of you ever done this before?

    As you can see, I'm venturing into unknown territory - and I don't like it! :p

    No, no, no ---- I'm talking about approaching bloggers on a personal level. :) Anyone ever done that before?

    Yes, I just fire off an email. The thing to remember is that if bloggers are already posting reviews from the sponsored posts services then they may want paying for their post.

    Go in the link sales section and start a thread with what you want. There are always bloggers that offer blog posts for a price.

    No idea. I don't do it very often.

    i haven't done this before but you can search for blogs related to your site and contact the blogger and PM them what you want...it should be a benefit on both sides..

    you really can't approach in a personal level, just create intising posts
