Recently I've been participating in quite a few blog tours hosted by the lovely Teen {Book} Scene and really enjoying them. I've always thought blog tours are quite fun with a good variety of different types of posts (author and character interviews, guests posts, reviews, etc.), and I was wondering what all of you think about the effectiveness of blog tours as publicity.
When I see blog tours occurring, I don't ever really make a point to follow the whole tour, but I do take note of the ones that pop up in my feed. Even though I won't usually read through every interview/guest post unless they're particularly entertaining, I do think it raises my awareness of the book quite a bit just through having it everywhere, and if I see several positive reviews, I most likely will end up with the book on my to-read list.
So yes, I'd say for me, blog tours are generally an effective way of raising publicity, especially if a lot of blogs I follow are participating. What do you think?
