I love it. And also, THANK YOU for not being a copy/paste commenter. Comments are great but when they're obviously purely for the sake of begging for more followers.......<br /><br />Ahem. Anyways. I think I need to go add a new quote to twitter. Yup, brb. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-24176217342799441312011-07-12T20:37:49.552-06:002011-07-12T20:37:49.552-06:00I am toiling with the idea of starting my blog.

Though i havent worked with any, i do read alot about good and bad experinces when bloggers have worked with PR companies! Even i would say CSN is really good from what i have seen and read. They contact interested bloggers and help host lovely giveaways. Hope everyone learns from them, Because everyone's time is important and should be given due credit and rewarded!Mehnaz Kapadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107856213134194267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-34932250736449319822011-06-28T20:45:06.555-06:002011-06-28T20:45:06.555-06:00Interesting post!

I appricited hearing your take on working with PR reps verses directly with the companies themselves. <br />That's sad that some times they don't follow through on their end of the deal after you've gone to the work of doing the post!Melissa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821228194806915933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-32738150870544971932010-08-11T12:08:37.035-06:002010-08-11T12:08:37.035-06:00I have to agree!

CSN was a great company to work with, and though I'm too much of a newbie to have worked with a PR firm, I've heard my share of horror stories.<br /><br />And blog hops...I'm starting to realize that same thing. They were GREAT when I was a brand new blogger, but now I'm looking for actual readers, not numbers. And it's a huge pet peeve of mine to have those cut-and-paste people tell me they're following, but I check up on it and they've lied. That just tells me exactly what you want from me; not a reader, but another number to display. <br /><br /><a href="http://cheapgeeksanonymous.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Cheap Geeks Anonymous</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653344656437913625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773246952965924566.post-401876283666322862010-08-11T11:37:38.392-06:002010-08-11T11:37:38.392-06:00I love CSN, too.

No naming names. ;)<br /><br />I had to laugh at your comment about blog hops. Not that I never do them- I still do every once in a while, but it's true that they've made #s not mean as much. You can see a blog that has thousands of "followers" but hardly any actual readers because of them!Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.com
