Ruth I agree that bloggers buy' into PRs and would seuggst this is a symptom of the blogging mindset. Most bloggers are strongly motivated by the felt community aspects of the medium and, while there are those of us who also pay the bills through it, we remain part of and energized by the people we work with.Those with a purely financial motivation in contacting bloggers should take heed of your advice and build relationship as well a business deals.
