When you ask to feature someone on your blog, unless you have amazing traffic stats, don’t make it sound like you’re doing them a favor by giving them exposure.

Picture the scene:
You walk into the Chamber of Commerce, looking good feeling pretty…you walk up to a banker and say, “AARRRGH MATEY!”
Tell me, I dare you, that won’t break the ice like nothing you’ve ever done before!
