Mary McKnight over at RSSPieces wrote about rssHugger.com today.
Now Mary would be the first to tell you that she and I don’t see eye-to-eye on everything. (My wife is the only person I’ll agree with on everything. Mostly because she’s usually right and partly because, well”¦. she’s my wife.)
But Mary’s a pretty sharp cookie and she uncovers nuggets-of-goodness on a regular basis.
RSS Hugger is a newish “blog directory” that looks pretty slick. And they have a brilliant “viral” marketing campaign. Just write a review (such as this one) and you get your blog listed for 10 years, for free.
They’ve got a “Top 100” list (that resets monthly) and a “Random Blog” link ”” both good ways for finding new blogs to read and write about (which is just what I need, yet another blog in my feed reader ”” it’s a sickness folks).
Seems like an easy way to get what could amount to a quality backlink. Who knows if it will drive traffic ”” that remains to be seen. They are currently tracking 1219 feeds, with lofty goals for many more.
Can’t see anything wrong with signing up. If you prefer not to write a post about RSSHugger, the cost is only a $20 one-time fee.
Something tells me you’re going to see a few RSSHugger posts popping up across the real estate net shortly. 10 of the latest 11 additions are real estate blogs.
Note to Collin ”“ the RSS Hugger guy: You should add a category just called “Real Estate”. Not every real estate blog is about “Real Estate Investing” (the one pure RE category in place now).

The Phoenix Real Estate Guy was started by Jay Thompson, and I have a little blogging problem... he liked to say...
Jay – lol, you think we'll see a few more? It's funny how viral RE bloggers are – it's like wildfire – love your suggestion to for Collin – hope he hears you!
"Just what I need another blog in my feed reader"… LOL I have the same thoughts but of course I'll need to go check it out.
Thanks for the tip! I registered and it looks "golden" to me! 🙂
A rarity, but I actually beat you to it Jay.
So it turns out the brainchild (literally) behind the site, Colin, built and sold that site (along with a sister site) in about 3 months and netted a cool 13K on the sale in January.
I was born about 20 years too early me thinks.
Listing for 10 years! That's pretty good. I love the rsspieces blog. The random blog page is pretty cool. Almost like a "stumble" for just blogs…would be really cool if the page reset each time it was refreshed.
I can't beleive the number of ways there are to promote a blog. The mind boggles. I seem to spend my whole life promoting my various blogs.
It's a bright and sunny Saturday morning here in South Florida and as I drink my morning cup o' joe, I am reading about things here that can help my business. Now it seems I will be tied up for the next two hours writing a post about rsshugger. Thanks Jay!
