Why Plumbb?

Traffic

Plumbb gives readers a whole new reason to come to your blog—even on days you don't post. Not only can they read your insights, opinions, and observations, they can also consume content from the other writers in your blogroll—and do it on your site. In short, Plumbb transforms your blog from a single information source into a connected, cohesive information portal that assembles and filters the news and information streaming through your blogspace.

Everyone Loves the Top 10

Every major news site from the NY Times, to Reuters, to CNN offers readers a Top 10 list of their best articles — "reading candy" that lures readers in, and on, to new stories. Plumb does likewise by analyzing bookmarks, trackbacks, and comments to sift out the most popular and most discussed articles from the blogs around you. And the addictive Top 10 lists that result are, again, personalized--to reflect changes each reader makes to the blogroll and posts that have already been read.

Strengthen Your POV

Plumbb enhances your editorial point of view by allowing you (as the widget owner) to make recommendations by placing a star next to posts you find interesting. These posts will be highlighted no matter where they show up in Plumbb. Readers can also filter recommended posts from a given blog or across your entire blogroll with a simple click.

A Portal—Personalized to Each Reader

With Plumbb, readers can not only explore posts from your blogroll, they can even change the feed list to suit their needs. And Plumbb tracks what each reader (signed-in or not) has read and hasn't read, making it a powerful, personalized tool for readers to navigate large amounts of content. Your site will be seen as a portal, as much as a blog, with a continual flow of fresh content tailored to each reader.

Introduce your Readers to RSS

Many of your readers don't really understand RSS. They don't have a reader and don't know where or how to set up a feed list. But with Plumbb you set up the feeds and the reader itself is on your site. Simply by hovering over the widget, your readers will be benefiting from RSS technology while becoming more engrossed in your blogspace.

Know your Readers

As a Plumbb user, you will be able to access StatsBack, our analysis engine that allows you to see how readers have modified your blogroll and which topics and posts were most popular. These measurements will give you a unique perspective on what your audience likes and dislikes, and how you can modify your blog to increase reader satisfaction.
