I’m starting to focus more on getting new readers for this blog, and I’ve run into the same wall that new bloggers often run into. It goes about like this:
In order to get traffic, you have to be start getting links and readers. But to get links and readers, you have to have traffic.
It’s as messed up as trying to get loans from banks: if you actually need the money, they won’t give it to you; but if you’ve already got the money, then you don’t need them to give it to you.
rssHugger may help out with this problem. Like most social bookmarking sites, they have a registry where you add your blog and list what it discusses. Helpful, but nothing new there.
They also have a Top100 list that shows how many people have viewed your site using their service. That one is a bit more helpful with gathering the snowball traffic. Blogs at the top of the list get more views because people want to know what’s going on at the blog, and since they’re getting more views, they’re getting ranked better. The same snowball effect, except this time it’s working for new bloggers rather than against them.
rssHugger comes in two versions: a paid version (for $20) or a version that you get for reviewing their site on your blog. Both versions are the same, except one costs time and the other money. You’ve probably figured out by now that I’m doing the review.
If you’re needing some more readers, or would just like to try out a new service, head on over to rssHuggerand give them a look-over. Help out rssHugger, and let them help you out.
