Do you know what makes Wordpress so popular? While Wordpress is very lean and thin just out of the box, it can be extended to do some amazing things by using plugins, that extend its functionality. There are plugins to display RSS feed data in the blog, replace text by affiliate links automatically, create a tweet whenever you post… the list is endless.

So you don't want to login to your blog's admin panel and create a new blog post? And you don't want to bother with uploading images and linking to them? You will take none of the nonsense related to embedding YouTube videos in your posts? Not even thinking of multiple images and image galleries and all that techno-geek stuff?

I came across this interesting concept while going through the new book by David Meerman Scott – The New Rules of Viral Marketing. While most of the job seekers are writing the resumes where they are talking about what degrees thay have, the recruiters are looking for real world experiences, domain expertise and are analysing how you can help their organisation.

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.
It covers:
John Reese, the master marketer and the guy who had the first of the famous million-dollar launches, has introduced a novel shared blog promotion concept – the Blogrush. This is very simple to implement (I took 1 minute to sign-up to Blogrush and 1 minute to add the Blogrush widget to this blog). Based on the erstwhile ad exchange concept but relying on content exchange instead of ads, this is set to create a big flutter in the blogosphere. Specially with the clout that John Reese enjoys.

While it is important to submit to blog directories for increasing your link popularity, another important avenue that gets missed easily is RSS directories. Here's how you can do this easily…
Almost all the blogging systems including Wordpress have an associated RSS feed that gets updated whenever you post to the blog. For Wordpress, the feed can be found at http://www.domain.com/wp-rss2.php or http://www.domain.com/blog/wp-rss2.php as the case may be. Now search for RSS directories and you will find quite a large list of good directories.
One such RSS directory is here. You should generally browse to the category that most closely matches the topic of your site and then click on 'Add your site'. Enter the required information and submit.
While some of the directories will include your site right away, most of them have human editors who review your site before inclusion. Therefore, it is a waste of time to submit junk sites because they will get rejected anyway.
