Featured Feeds EX

Announcing Featured Feeds EX - a program that is aimed at growing the online Otaku Sphere.

As you can see from the above screenshot, the average unique users for July so far has been 52,133 per day and I have already served over 2.5 million page views. I want to make sure that I am sharing these users with fellow Otaku site owners and so have extended my Featured Feeds program that I have been running for about half a year now.

To participate, all you have to do is place my English RSS feed on your index and blog post pages. There are many plugins for wordpress and blogger that enable you to do this.
What I will then do is put your feed in the Featured Feeds page *and* show it randomly on the top index page and across all blog post pages. The feeds that you already see in the Featured Feeds page are of comrades who have already placed my feed on their site.

If you are interested in attracting Japanese readers to your site, you can also place my Japanese RSS feed on your site where upon your feed will be displayed on my Japan top and blog post pages.

Featured Feeds is good for everybody because:-

• Due to the volume of visitors to this site, you can expect a decent amount of traffic flowing to your site.
• Your feed on this site creates new discoverability of otaku related content for my current readers.
• Featured Feeds is great for those who have just started up a new otaku blog/site. It does not matter how many readers you initially have. The point of this program is to share.
• You have the potential of making money at the same time.

Once you have placed my RSS feeds on your site, you then have to sign up for a dannychoo.com account and fill out your details including your RSS feed. Then send mail to [support at dannychoo dot com] and let me know your user name. I will then activate your feed. From then on you get to manage your own feed.

Fellow comrades who participate in Featured Feeds also appear on the comrades page and randomly on the top index page. As this is all about sharing, only registered folks who link to dannychoo.com get activated as a comrade (sorry).

I have changed the architecture of the Comrade and FeaturedFeeds to allow you to manage your link/feed yourself. This also means that I dont need to manually manage everything - all I do is activate you ^^;
If you used to be a Comrade and dont see your link anymore, please register your details and then send mail to [support at dannychoo dot com]. The same goes for Featured Feed partners - you need to signup and then register your feed.

If you have already linked to dannychoo.com via a link or feed and dont see your details under the Comrade or Featured Feeds page then just send me mail and let me know your user name.

I try to be proactive in sharing my traffic with other fellow comrades and believe that hording traffic is not the way of Web2.0.
We can mutually expect growth through working together because we both cater for a niche category (Japan, Otaku, Anime, Gundam, Figures etc). It is likely that the users we share with each other will become new readers and further grow the Otaku Sphere.

Update: Some partners have registered a feed that cannot be parsed for some reason. Use the Feed tester tool and make sure you register a feed that can be parsed by that tool.
