We know you're trying to get to your pitch and you're easing us into it with a little padding. For example, I received the following pitch today:I just read your post on http://www.sparkmediasolutions.com/ and I'm sure you'll find Company X worth checking out. Or there’s the case of recommending content for my blog even if my blog does not cover that subject. A few videos [about space travel] were posted by Company Z that I thought might be of interest to the readers of Spark Minute. A simple search on my site (I do have a search box) will show that I never write about space travel.
