Since this is a common question, let me clarify there are five possible ways (overlappings are possible) to get your tool featured in the portal (and an impossible one):

• If your tool is so amazing or innovative I cannot wait, I’ll write a short blog post about it myself
• If I like your tool and think it could of the interest of my readers I may contact you and see if you’d like to write a guest blog post introducing the tool to the portal readers.
• You can also take the initiative and ping me to ask if I’d be interested in publishing a guest post from you presenting the tool to the portal readers
• If not only the tool but yourself/your company are specially interesting, you could be featured in one of our interviews with MDE experts (though it’s been a while since I did the last one I still open to good interview opportunities)
• Buy an ad in the portal, which by the way also comes with a guest post included depending on the kind of ad.
• (the impossible one) Asking me to review your tool (meaning install it, run it, test it with some models,…). If you want the honest opinion of a MDE expert you can hire my consulting services but I won’t do it just to publish a blog post about your tool. I understand that marketing-wise is more effective that a blogger writes a kind of neutral and objective opinion about the tool than writing yourself a guest post about it but I´m afraid my time constraints don´t leave me enough time to “play” with tools (believe me, I’d enjoy it!).

Why should you care? Well I dare to say this is the most popular and vendor-independent blog on modeling and MDE topics so clearly my audience is very relevant to your goals. It´s up to you to take this opportunity.
