Thomas Korte, a San Francisco employee of Google, has whipped up a form that lets you submit your web site’s RSS feed to fifteen search engines simultaneously. He’s also written an informative post on promoting your weblog with RSS feeds.

Korte has some good ideas, but I should point out that his advice on how to use Trackback isn’t one of them. Contrary to what he says, it’s considered bad form to Trackback to sites that you haven’t actually linked to in your post. If you aren’t sending them traffic with your link, it isn’t fair to try and get traffic from them by creating a link back to yourself on their site.
