HI Mark,
Thanks for the mention of our blog, always happy to be mentioned in the same post as For Immediate Release and Jamie Oliver
I see a lot of good resources on your blog and I’ve seen for myself that blogging as a marketing tool can position yourself well online and generate interest in your services/products.

Alex,

Thank you and glad that it added another couple of blogs to the list. I hope this week to finally get the time to post all of the UK ones from Suw Charman, myself and others on the New PR Wiki – will post a blog about it then to make sure everyone has access to the resource.

Hi A,

What I meant by “not your typical blog” was simply down to the fact that one of the first things I tell people starting a blog is that it is not a direct marketing tool and certainly not a direct sales tool.

Nubricks, however, seems to straddle that line between information/opinion giving and direct advertising/marketing. For that reason, although it is clearly providing useful and valuable information, most of the posts are sales oriented which I do not consider to be your typical blog.

An excellent use for a blogging platform, nicely presented & sucessful – yes. A true blog from a purist’s point of view – probably not. Do I like it – yes, hence I included it.
