Need More Blog Readers? Scout Them Out!

I have just discovered a new website called Scoutle that promises to deliver “Automated Social Networking” to bloggers. The site lets you create “scouts” that you place on your blog or website which then crawl the Internet to find other scouts with similar interests and link you up with them. I’ve added a scout to this blog and you can see it in action right there on the sidebar.
Here is a short video explaining exactly how it works:
The advantage of using Scoutle is that everything is automated. All you really need to do is sign up, create your scouts and add them to your web page and then check back to see if they have met any other scouts that you are interested in.
If two users find each other sites interesting they can create a Connection. The more Connections you have the more points you will earn which in turn will mean more visitors.
There are also Networks that users can either join or start a new one of their own. The websites within a network are continually ranked allowing you to easily find the most appreciated sites for your niche.
Scoutle relies on people finding other websites interesting for them to get a high ranking so it should be difficult to manipulate and since most of the work is done for you there really is no reason not to try it out.

Cool! Connections make sense. Thanks for sharing – never heard of scoutle till now!
Scoutle is a very interesting tool! You don’t have to do anything and you’ll get free traffic? Wow! I’m going to try this one out.
Wow! Sounds like an interesting tool! I am always looking for ways to more exposure for our live online radio show. Thanks for the tip!
While this sounds like a great idea and was well laid out, I am hesitant of anything that promises “automatic” results. There have been too many stories of Google, eliminating good sites because they suspect that their traffic wasn’t legitimately built up. Having said that, I will look into this further- Nate
I agree with the post above. This looks like a great tool on the surface, but anything of an “automated” nature that potentially leaves a “foot print” can spell doom down the road with your Google rankings. Be careful out there!
