This is all according to your preference, but when it comes to a blogger outreach campaign, the decision is never so zero-sum, not nearly so either/or. You can always secure hundreds of long-tail earned media mentions while you’re desperately working on securing coverage on Mashable and TechCrunch.

Last week, I talked about using the long tail of blogger outreach –the idea that you can’t pin your hopes for most public relations efforts on only the A-list bloggers. For blogger outreach to work, over and over, you need to be endlessly generous and endlessly appreciative.

The same thing goes for public relations and marketing. I’m doing a big influencer outreach right now on behalf of a technology startup. We’re personally, by hand, reaching as far down the tech, app, and gadget A-list as possible, reaching hundred of bloggers and social media writers.

Last week, I explained how to succeed with B-list bloggers, but maybe some of you aren’t convinced. So, this week, I want to draw an analogy to successful Google AdWords approaches so that you can see how to apply that same technique to blogger outreach.

Then it became social media marketing, then blogger outreach, then digital PR and digital marketing. And that’s your fault, man — own up! Let me give you a personal example. When I started in digital, what I did was called new media marketing. I called it defensive SEO then defensive search.

My definition of blogger outreach has always been about acquiring earned media coverage from bloggers and online influencers. My definition–and my assumption–has always been that blogger outreach is public relations and not paid media. I may well be mistaken.

I just wrote an article , Blogger outreach is earned media PR, isn’t it? wherein I suggested that some bloggers are kinda jerks because they lead any blogger outreach with “here’s my advertising packet.” Bloggers, in fact, are the victims and we digital and PR agencies are the perps.

Back in 2006 when I started doing online public relations, blogger outreach was a minefield. — and it was years before anyone else besides my little agency was willing to engage these bloggers on behalf of products and brands. Back in 2006, most bloggers of any note had zero tech savvy. Solid ground?

My expertise, however, is online community outreach and engagement. Back in 2006 I developed a strategy of blogger outreach that allowed my to reach out to more than just 25 top-tier bloggers by hand over time but to 2,500-5,000 bloggers. And email sometimes doesn’t quite make its way to the Inbox.
