RSS Hugger Review

I just signed 10kluke.info up for a new site called rssHugger. The brainchild of Collin LaHay, it is an interesting, and unconventional blog-promoting tool. I think it has the potential to become a very big name in the blogging industry.

While the original plan was to charge a $10 entry fee, it is currently possible to get in the directory for free. In exchange for writing a review of rssHugger, and provided you can pass a manual inspection for quality non-spam blogs, your entire RSS feed will be featured in their searchable directory. The review can be avoided if you want to pay $20 to be featured directly.

In addition, there’s the top 100 list, which goes by whose site is viewed the most. Furthermore there’s a list of the 100 most recently added sites — so you get some free link-backs for as long as your site is fairly new, or relatively popular.

rssHugger is an excellent example of search-engine savvy viral marketing, due to the fact that it is designed to get thousands of independent reviews across the internet. This strategy is likely to build it’s pagerank, which will in turn benefit blog owners who list with it.
