Am I Getting More Popular?

Hey, you're new around here aren't ya? Did you know you can get every post FREE in your EMAIL or via RSS? Oh and if you're a Twit like me you can follow me on Twitter HERE. Enjoy the post.

Or is the industry (or this medium) just maturing to a point where PR folks are finally starting to invade this bloggers in inbox?

In the past I would receive on average 5 pitches (if you even call them that) per week.

For the last month or so, I have been receiving 5 to 10 pitches per day from a variety of PR agencies and companies.

While I do not respond nor write about most of the releases sent to me, it is very interesting to see the increased level of activity.

• Is competition increasing such that folks are working harder than before?
• Is the market getting more saturated?
• Have I reached some sort of “new level” as it relates to my perceived importance within the industry?
• Is anyone else noticing this trend?

What makes this all even more strange is that fact that I haven’t even been blogging very much as I am working on a new direction for the site…is that the key to getting pitched, blog less?
