Self-promote. Don't be shy.

Thousands of our publishers already use FeedFlare to add interactivity to their feed items. Far fewer have created their own FeedFlare. If you maintain more than one site, or you have a portion of your site you’d like to promote, creating a personalized FeedFlare unit will take you five minutes.
To get started, head on over to our FeedFlare Developer Guide. Check out Example 2 - customize the <title>, <description>, <text> and <link> elements. Save this as a text file on your webserver, and then point to it in your FeedFlare configuration page (enter the URL in the “Personal FeedFlare” section). You’re all done: you just added a button to promote your site inside your feed!
Read through the other examples on that page - for the more adventurous among you, you can get more creative with dynamic FeedFlare units. But the basics - static links that call attention to featured content - are easy to create and can go a long way to promoting the availability of valuable content to your readers.
