“It’s great if you can actually write an interesting blog.” HitWise and Compete are both companies that publish posts that indirectly promote their product, but provide news and spark all kinds of discussions that come up on Techmeme.” If you can make news that’s great, but most companies can’t do that. Another good strategy is to “find bloggers that don’t get as much attention, but are smart confident guys.” Though they are less trafficked, “a lot are still read by the alpha-bloggers.” Examples: CenterNetworks or StartupSquad instead of TechCrunch. “You might want to engage them instead of the ones that are really busy."
