First noticed it at [tag]digg[/tag]…
Then I stumble into it at [tag]Tailrank[/tag]…
Now I see it pop up on [tag]pfblogs[/tag].org…
What am I talking about? Aggregator sites whose RSS feed dumps me to an intermediary page on their site rather than pointing me straight at the actual aggregated listing.
I can understand (even if I don’t particularly enjoy it) on digg & Tailrank – they’re wanting the traffic for their ad revenue, so they sure would like you to at least stop on in. But this new change at pfblogs.org confuses me. The site was created specifically in response to another [tag]aggregator[/tag] – pfblogs.com – throwing a few ads onto their personal finance blog aggregator. I can’t imagine pfblogs.org changing their tune and thus needing the eyeballs for a new ad run, despite a proclamation of some changes afoot. So I’m left wondering, why slow me down?
