I would think this format would work:

-What things do people like to monitor/manage on their Postgres database?
-Quick intro to what the free tools can do [pgAdmin III, Munin, etc.]
-Discussion of the things that PEM provides

If people walk away having learned something about monitoring and tools 
for PostgreSQL in general, I'd consider that a useful article meeting 
the standard I suggested here--"information provided would be of some 
use even to people who have no interest in the commercial product 
mentioned"--even if it ended with a discussion of how PEM aims to solve 
those problems.
