If you haven’t done so already, you should submit your site to Alltop now. An Alltop news feed is like your digital online magazine rack and is one of Guy Kawasaki’s start-up projects. When you submit your site, you are importing your latest 5 headlines under an existing topic. Depending on factors such as your content, twitter recommendations, etc., the drones over at Alltop gets to decide the final topic where your feed will be categorized under.
Alltop is great because you know that the blogs and sites are updated frequently. Actually, any blogs not updated in 28 days will have their feeds removed from the list. The feeds at the top are normally the most popular and reputable blogs that Alltop deems as most important.
10 Ways How Alltop Powers Bloggers
Chris Brogan wrote a great post about how you can use Alltop as a blogger. Here’s an excerpt of the first 4 ways from Chris’ article:
“
1. Keep track of what your competitors are writing about. Alltop displays the last five stories of over one-hundred sites and blogs for topics ranging from adoption to zoology with 400 topics in between>
2. Examine the site design of bloggers in your category by clicking through on headlines and seeing their sites. For example, if you’re a mommy blogger, you can see what hundreds of mommy blogs look like at Moms.alltop.
3. Get more traffic by getting added to an Alltop topic. Go here to sign up.
4.Grab blogging tips by reading what expert bloggers like CopyBlogger and ProBlogger are saying at Blogging.alltop.

I submitted my blog a few days ago and just left it in their hands for approval. I was checking my stats one day and noticed a few visits came from http://blogging.alltop.com/. I scrolled all the way to the bottom and noticed my Alltop news feed was listed! I know it’s at the very bottom, but then again, my blog’s just a few months old. 
If you don’t find any use in submitting your blog to Alltop (don’t know why you would think that), then at least it’s a great way to find related blogs in your niche and add them in your rss reader.

Haha. Yeah I know. At least Alltop’s faster than Technorati to claim your blog.

Yeah, I have been using Technorati (which takes a bit to get accepted) mybloglog, and also Zimbio. I really like Zimbio, because you post Wikis on others blogs and get readers coming back to your bio where they will come back and view your blog. That and all the above sites are authority sites. I haven’t tried Alltop, but I will now look into it. Thanks for spreading the wealth.
