Blogger Outreach Tools

[EwanFisher]

I am currently working on a few campaigns and initiatives which would be really good for blogger outreach..

Anyone used any of these services?

You might want to try outreachr.com, I can make an intro for you if you like.

Thanks guys ill have a look at those tools also.

I agree Marcus a personalized approach is a must...

I will mainly use these for sourcing etc....

I have looked into both of those services, however I have had a lot of success with myblogguest and bloggerlinkup and have never really needed to make a change.

If I'm targeting higher end blogs, I will research them on Technorati, then get active in the community to get my name on their radar before I inquire about a guest post.

Hey Matthew, I have a free account on blogdash and have used their search tool but I try to personalise my approach rather than just throwing a pitch out there. It helps if you can comment on the blog, follow them on social sites, generally hang out a bit and get some dialogue going rather than just blowing a generic pitch out to several bods.

"Hello, I gone do some writing on that here Interweb and was wondering if I could right something on your blog sir?"

For right or wrong, guest posting is big now so the amount of crappy generic enquiries is on the up so these tools have some merit, but if you fire out generic requests you may be closing more doors than you open!

Hi Matthew,

I don't have any experience of the tools you mentioned, however I run some fairly large blogger outreach campaigns and I would wholeheartely recommend the tools from Buzzstream and Raven Tools.

Both are great for finding, approaching and managing link targets. They both offer 30 day free trials too!

Thanks,

David
