RSS Hugger: Got web presence? Tell the world you’re online!

It’s time to stop for a minute talking about fountain pens and touch another captivating topic – blog promotion.

Self-proclaimed gurus of SEO often tell that “content is king”. Some go a bit further and proclaim “unique content is king”. Both statements are true, but they lack something in common, and that is web exposure.
Really, who knows you have set up a fresh new blog? You may be writing nice articles and share all kinds of secrets (by talking “secrets” I imply life experience, but we all know that readers like secrets way more than anything else). You may provide precious gems of hard-to-find information. But it is pointless unless your blog is found and visited. If nobody reads your posts because nobody knows about them, what’s the point of blogging? Being spoken of, known and visited – that’s why we start blogging. We need readership!

But getting open to the WWW is not that easy nowadays. With millions of blogs alive and new appearing every minute, it’s not wise to rely on the power of content solely. There’s a need for some kind of promotion. A way to tell the Internet about new member in the blogosphere.

rssHugger - World RSS Directory

It may sound strange to you, but there are only TWO ways to spread the word: wait until somebody kind enough does that for you after stumbling upon your weblog, or do it yourself.
RSS Hugger is for those bloggers who prefer the second, quicker way.

RSS commonly denotes Really Simple Syndication and was invented to help spreading information at lighting strike speed. Every blog has the option to provide visitors with this feature. But RSS Hugger goes further – it helps to promote the RSS feed which dramatically changes the whole approach to content syndication.
To tell the truth, there are hundreds, if not thousands of similar services – similar in function, but not in the way it is organized.

First, RSS Hugger is a service with manual verification and approval. This means that spammers and shady marketers are kept out. No spam=valuable content. The directory lists only resources that provide quality information, which leads to another important consequence: improved SEO for all participants.

Search Engines, and namely Google, simply adore quality directories because they contain no malware, no links to malicious websites, are not involved in illegal tactics. A directory that Google is in love with gets higher ranking and more PR value, which is passed to all blogs within it. For us, earthly bloggers, this is a great bonus in the perspective.

Second, while RSS Hugger is in the process of building itself, it is somewhat easy to get listed in Top 100 because of less competition. Of course this cannot last long, so those who jump in early will benefit more in the future. Quality inbound links, submission to other web resources is something no blogger can let pass by.

So join rssHugger if you seriously plan to stay online for years to come!
