FeedShot.com: New Blog Search Engine Submission Tool
September 25, 2005 7:28 PM Subscribe
FeedShot.com: I just stumbled on a service named FeedShot that submits your RSS feed to 17 blog search engines. It covers the big ones: DayPop, Feedster, IceRocket, and Technorati, and it's free. It's not a pinging service, it's designed to handle the first submission to each of the search engines.
I liked the report indicating which submissions were successful, which failed, and which were duplicates. The main drawback is it only submits to 17 sites out of the 50 or so available.
This post was deleted for the following reason: clue club solves the crime, I knew it all the time. self link.

if its a big fakeout to get my spam email address then whatever, they got it.
if its a free service to help promote my dumb blogs then thanks rwalling

this one seems nicer. And google knows about 83 pages that link to it, unlike the zero that link to feedshot. I wonder how rwalling found out about it.

I get zero hits for this site on Google, Yahoo, alltheweb, altavista, technorati and icerocket. Feedster has one link to a delicious bookmark for it. How did you stumble across this, rwalling?

Looks like a self link to me, both this and the user's www.softwarebyrob.com page use not only asp but the (extremely ugly though admittedly popular) __viewstate, and (surprise surprise) are hosted on the same machine.

The domain is registered to Domains By Proxy. The only 'blog' search engine that rwalling linked too that actualy found any refrence to feedshot was feedster, which linked to this del.icio.us page where the first link was by none other then rwalling, just two hours ago. All of rwalling's other posts on del.icio.us go to his own site, http://www.softwarebyrob.com, which is full of boring pap.

I whent through all that trouble looking up the whois info, and I never bothered to do an nslookup. Oh well.
Hmm, check this out.
DotNetNuke supports multiple portals from a single database/codebase. It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The following steps describe the process:
So it's obviously not a major hosting provider, and it seems that all the sites use the same DB...

That was fun. Let's have one mystery self-link every week.

I knew some people smarter (and much better looking, I'm sure) than me would easily start filling in the blanks. Glad to see how it's done.

Bleh, what fun is uncovering a self link without the posters protestations of innocence?
