Bloggers Get Traffic From Alltop

Filed as News on March 12, 2008 2:01 pm

Bloggers who have recently checked their referring traffic might notice Alltop as a source. The site, which aggregates content from leading blogs, is picking up in popularity.

Currently, approximately 40 categories are represented; everything from education to sports. You’ll find the five most recent stories from at least 30 leading Websites in a given niche.

Feeds are updated every 10 minutes.

For bloggers, it’s a win-win situation. Not only will they receive increased exposure if they are included, but they can discover potential allies (while monitoring the competition).

If you don’t see one of your favorite Websites listed (or your own), you can send Alltop an e-mail requesting inclusion.

There could be plans to customize pages in the future, but for now you’re at the mercy of a pre-determined order. If the Alltop servers can’t read a feed, it will be dropped down on the page.

How do you fellow bloggers feel about these single-page aggregators?

    Might be a good way to find related blogs, but other than that I don’t see a purpose for it.

    They kind of scare me because I think that sometimes people create sites like this to grab content and build their site without putting in any real work. I will check it out and see how valuable it is. If it generates traffic, that is always a great thing.

    It seems like a nice easy way to get traffic as long as you can stay in the 5 most recent for a while. Obviously blogs about the Alt key would stay longer than tech blogs.

    It sends me a bit of traffic, so I’m happy to be included in the design category.
