I’ve been waiting to get my hands on an invite code for the new Toluu service which is currently in Beta and looking oh so sweet. I should be getting my invite within the next few days and with that comes an invite for 3 other people, so if you’re interested get in touch with me and I’ll be sure to send one your way. Toluu is an RSS news site that organizes the feeds you love, and after getting to know your reading habits, it will feed your more news from sources that are very similar in taste. The site already has been growing at a rapid rate and has tens of thousands of indexed pages in Google, a nice page rank of 6 and a bunch of inbound links. The feed/news pages you can create are all do follow which is great for a link, but it also looks so good you might not want to leave the spot! They have done an excellent job with the look and feel of the site, and adding feeds could not have been done easier. This is a great resource to build links if you have a “quality content” site as well bring in readers that are truely interested in your niche. If you want to keep up on how the development is going they have a Toluu Blog which is updated regularly with indepth updates on what’s going on. I’ll leave you with a link to a Toluu page for the user nerdflood so you can see just how the feeds are layed down.

Link Building & RSS Distribution With Toluu.com
Link Building With RSS Hugger
Colin Lahay from Mixed Market Arts is the brain child behind rssHugger. The purpose of rssHugger is to bring in more readers through your RSS Feed, as well as providing a strong back link to your website. Colin has managed to provide a unique site which is rewarded by a pr5, 1800+ indexed pages and thousands of links pointing to the site. He has also setup a similar service called wordHugger which I will blog about tomorrow. This just goes to show how you can create new ways of building links and ranking with a unique web service.
The Goal
My goal was originally to get 50,000 blogs signed up with a $10 joiners fee, but due to the fact that I want to support all of the great bloggers, even those who cannot afford $10, I changed this goal to sign up 250,000 free blogs within the first year of operation. With over 112 million registered blogs, with about 175,000 new ones per day, I feel this goal is possible. The money will be used to pay off college expenses, to invest in my other internet startup companies, sponsor like-minded business folk, and continue to support Kiva, who support entrepreneurs in the developing world.
RSS Promotion With ReadBurner.com
I just discovered Read Burner as a new place to drop relevant links. It looks like Pligg, and smells like Pligg, but it isn’t. Read Burner analysis current hot topics and trends based on certain factors and the latest news gets spat out to the site. If you want to see what kind of topics and sites are making the rounds they provide open stats you can view. For all your folks with nice phones you can view a mobile version as well which is what I’ve been tuning into all day from my iPhone.
ReadBurner (www.readburner.com) analyzes what people are sharing with their personal social networks on a variety of services to determine the best content across the Web. With an increasing amount of news consumption taking place in RSS readers and personalized start pages versus traditional web sites, ReadBurner aggregates the most frequently shared content from these next generation services to determine what’s popular.
