hahaha! Did you look over the blogburst badges page? At the bottom they have a badger badge. And mentioned it was a typo but included the badger as a badge for those who requested a badger. Funny.

I don’ t know. It looks as though it may be a good place to start if you want to be part of a network. Nice looking site.

“to it’s bloggers” should be “to its bloggers” : )

This isn’t as easy as it sounds. But, as always, your post are very well formed and researched. Thanks a lot.

@ Antoine Khater … The agreement is that you have full feeds so they can use full posts and not the summary. Which means no one ever clicks through to your site (Well at least not in my case). I was invited to add my movie blog a while back with the usual flattering “your blog is unique and offers quality content” spiel. It’s always nice to be recognised and as Pluck is not just another fly by night network I agreed. I didn’t really check much after that and only remembered I was a member when I used excerpts and was told it needed to be full feeds all the time. I finally checked to see if any contented had been used and it had been on what seem to be area’s of fairly large regional newspapers in the US. Nobody has clicked through from them as far as I can tell and I’m not particularly happy about spending hours writing for someone else to then sell that content on with no chance of remuneration because I am in Europe and never likely to be in the top 100

So it’s back to running partial feeds for me as I don’t see any benefit in this deal for myself at all.

That’s not to be negative to about Blogburst it may well be great for others and they are clear about how the system works, but in my case it’s a very one sided deal.

@ alister : you have to push the ‘get’ button first so they can spider your rss feed That is why :)

I am missing something too, my content showing on other sites as FULL posts and not only summary ? won’t that affect my page ranking in search engine for duplicate contents? furthermore why would anyone even bother visiting my blog after having had the opportunity to read the full post?

Just my $.02

Either I am missing something or there is no way to submit their invitation request form!

Can anyone tell me how to “submit” that form? There is no submit button!!
