I am a huge fan of http://Aweber.com because of wonderful people there like Crystal Gouldey, whom has been so very helpful in segmenting my rather large list. Tom, you make sure Crystal gets a little something extra this month!

Ah yes, the great cereal commercials of old!

How funny it is that the old Trix cereal commercial with the rabbit doing a “trick” might be relevant even now, almost 20 years later. You see, as bloggers and Web 2.0 advocates, we have certain things we do as force of nature. One of them is the proverbial “ping”. In fact, the “ping” is built into WordPress and most other blog systems as well.

The whole idea behind the “ping” is that we are telling major blog tracking sites, like Technorati for example, that we have updated our blog, and we would like them  to come and see the changes, and update their search results with our newest content.

We have always assumed the “ping” was important, and in fact it is a major jump forward, one of the first big jumps in the Web 2.0 architecture model that I can remember. But is it “all that and a bag of potato chips?” What if there was something better, something newer, and something that had shiny new parts?

Well, there is something new, and it is combined very well with something old. Now, at the risk of people immediately clicking their “back” button, I am going to say “RSS”. But, before you go, read this one last paragraph.

What if the next time you write a post and hit the “Submit” button on your WordPress blog (with the secret little plugin installed that I am going to send you to) that plugin automatically wrote a whole new RSS page just about this newest post, then connected and logged in to a series of RSS feed aggregators, told them about the newest post, and then finished the submission as per normal?

Can you imagine what this would do? Over a very short period of time, you would have hundreds back links from dozens of posts, each on a half dozen or so authority rss aggregators (aggregator just means “combined” or “directory” for simple terms), all pointing in deep-linking fashion to your posts? All of these are tagged exactly how you wanted, and you did not have to do anything any differently than how you write a post right now.

Why is this better than the existing RSS feed in WP or other blogs? Well, for starters, if nobody submits your feed to an aggregator or subscribes to it, it never leaves your site. Also, that feed is a long chain of tags, keywords, text, etc., that is not specific or weighted to your single post.

The system I am talking about creates a NEW RSS feed for every post, and submits that new feed to that list of aggregators each time you write a post.

Does this plugin exist? Yes, and guess what IT’S FREE! Does it work? Well, I am going to find out, as I have installed it and it will do just what I said it will do as soon as I hit “Submit” when I am done writing. By the time you see this, there will be a new RSS feed created on my blog, and all submitted to the aggregators, and even a log emailed to me telling the status of those submissions, also sent by my blog system.

Now, the two brothers that built this little gem are really great guys, though I have had more opportunity to converse with Tim, hiw brother Anthony is a whip on this stuff. These guys beat pretty much every out there when it comes to Web 2.0 seo, and I would like to see someone challenge them at all, frankly.

All right already, where can you get it? Go to http://takeoverpageone.com/blog/ to get it now.

Yep, I am not even going to ask for an email address, but Tim will :>)
