Mike, I first want to say how much I enjoy Hittail. I have blogged about it and recommend it to everyone I talk to. I actually find it fun to watch the traffic come to the site (I'm easily entertained

). Thank you for it!
I personally have no intention to use the data as I proposed above, frankly wouldn't have a clue how to - heck, I am just getting a good understanding of html! One thing I am pretty good at is thinking up stupid stuff - kinda like my last blog entry "Hippocannabis Oath".
By the responses this type of automated link generation is possible, may be being used today. I have no idea what the value might add up to or if it would even help raise the amount of traffic - guess it depends on where the links are coming from... If there is value and is easily manipulated will there be a devaluing of RSS feeds coming in the future?
