What Is RSS Hugger And How Can It Help Me?

Every wordpress blog and some static websites have an rss feed, which is basically a type of language (like html and php) that shows the most recent information on your blog in a special way to be read by search engine spiders and rss readers. I personally use NewsGator to read my rss feeds as they have an option that makes my feeds appear in my outlook, which means I can check on them when I want without having ‘yet another’ piece of software slowing down my computer and they are not intrusive when they arrive. Feed readers allow you to keep an eye on the latest posts from your favourite sites without having to go and look at each one every day, obviously a great time saver :)

When someone is subscribed to your feed and you update your site and they come to look at your site you always have the opportunity to show link to another post or something interesting and keep them there.

This is a quote from the site … The Idea - rssHugger is a unique website that aims to bring bloggers and readers together. rssHugger aims to provide blog owners with a unique easy-to-use way to promote their blogs by sending them traffic, building backlinks for search engine optimization, as well as attracting new rss subscribers if the content is interesting to the reader. rssHugger aims to help visitors be able to easily find blogs that write about subjects they are interested in. These subjects include: internet marketing, making money online, charity, sports, gambling, and many more. If the visitors find a blog that they had not previously heard about, they can easily add it to their RSS readers or bookmark it.

You can read more about it here (opens in a new window).

Basically you use the site as your rss feed reader as well as adding your own blog/blogs. You can then share these feeds with others (a bit like a social bookmarking site, but only for blogs). It also shows the top 100 most visited feeds of the month adding you extra exposure if you are in there. You get a link back to your site into the deal as well.

It is free to add your blog if you write a review about them on yours, which is what I am doing here, which helps them too, but is not a reciprocal link, so better seo wise.

I just found this little gem myself and have added this post into the useful tools section as I think it is going to be just that. I can’t wait to play around with it a bot more and see what other interesting blogs I can find. My problem is I like to read to much :)

Have you tried it and seen results, if so please let me know by posting a comment below.
