Blog Marketing: How to Get Free PR for Your Blog Courtesy of Don Imus

Want to garner free publicity for your products or services? The follow Don Imus’ lead and make racist comments for all to hear and/or read.

What do all of these posts have in common? They’re bringing Don Imus and his recent comments on his radio show to the forefront for yet another 15 minutes of fleeting “fame”.

Perhaps one of the Imus show sponsors is making noises about canceling… or perhaps the last book didn’t bring glad tidings for the show. Whatever the motivation, this kind of comment could NOT have been made accidentally. It was deliberate and it worked.

Want lots of free PR for your blog… defend Don Imus’s comments… or make a few of your own.  (Note: Tongue is FIRMLY in cheek here!!!)
