Created by Collin LaHay, who was inspired to do so by ShoeMoney.com’s “13,000 RSS Contest” , rssHugger “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.” Though I have just registered my blog with rssHugger, and thus cannot comment extensively on my experience with it, my first impressions of the site is that it is professionally stylish, easy to navigate, straight-to-the-point informative, and currently boasts an impressive 5224 RSS feeds in its network. Pricing? Here’s the skinny straight from the site:

To get your blog listed, you must make a blog post/review about rssHugger on your blog and submit the link. All you have to do is register your blog. Your blog will not be listed until an admin manually approves of your post (FREE).

If you do not want to make a blog post/review about rssHugger for any reason, you may choose to opt out by paying a one time fee of $20 ($2 per year). You may pay via PayPal (Credit card payments accepted). ($20).

I will post about rssHugger again in the future, as I am sure I will have to gush about the increase in traffic that it has brought to my blog…
