YOUmoz and Sphinn are some of the best social networking communities in search marketing today. From participating in these two communities and reading a lot, I've discovered a few excellent bloggers. All of you who want to succeed at search marketing need to add their blogs to your feed readers.

You should have created a Yahoo Pipe for those of us that are lazy.

Glad you liked the story Maki! I'd love to see/hear what you thought of it in the comments! BTW, I was telling some friends last night at a business bloggers' meeting about you and they were shocked that you've done so well in just 6 months!

Why RSS them?

I RSS Sphinn and if any of them write anything of value it'll get Sphunn although some of the sheer CRAP hitting the Sphinn home page in the quest of everyone to make noise is making me rethink that strategy as well as the great concept here being ruined by sheer noise.

IncrediBill I totally agree. The volume of weak content is deafening.

Why RSS them?

1. Because not all good posts get submitted to Sphinn..some get overlooked.
2. Because it sometimes takes up to 2 days for a post to hit the Sphinn frontpage
3. Because you can read the articles in the feed reader, instead of clicking through to Sphinn and then clicking to the article (although this is a good habit to encourage regular sphinn usage)
4. Because noise exists on the frontpage too.

Of course, you can don't subscribe to any of them if you think they suck or whatever... just pointing the benefits of RSSing them over RSSing Sphinn.

@Gab

Thanks a lot for the mention in your post as well. I actually found some good sites from there which I haven't came across before...probably because I am not active over at SEOMoz :)

Taking 2 days to hit the front page of Sphinn isn't a problem as I'm not in that big of a hurry. That's more of an ego stroke for the blogger to see immediate activity on that post than it is an urgency to the reader to see the post.

Besides, I already have so many RSS feeds I could scream!
