Doesn't look like a legit aggregator to me at all. Looks like an SEO scam. Case in point "designed by" link at the bottom leads to an SEO trap. Also, the mysterious link outside the border as well.

Hi Todd,

Thanks for your comment, and I'd like to let you know that I am part of
the Geexoo team.

I'm sorry you feel that this is not a legit aggregator, but it actually is.

We have the aggregating tech by which we update feeds 2-3 times a day
from each of the blogs for each of the 35-odd tech topics. You may kindly
check it out for yourself.

As for the links at the bottom, these are not SEO pages, but these were
some rather crude attempts we made at putting up a web guide and
to develop some web applications. I do agree those sites do not look
professional, but by no means are they anything shady.

That said, I'd like to get your opinion of Geexoo in terms of the tech blog
aggregation idea as well as any suggestions for blogs to be included.

Many thanks for your patience and comments

Balu, if you're as professional as you say you are then you'd know a little something about the subject that you're aggregating, especially if you want to be taken seriously. As Rob pointed out, it's "ColdFusion" not "Cold Fusion." I'm sorry, but the clixoo link have made me decide to write this off as SEO Spam in the end. You wanted feedback, there it is. Enjoy.

Hi Balu,

Thanks for chiming in here. Personally, I think it's great to see ColdFusion content on a general technology site. That said, a couple of things you might want to consider:

1. ColdFusion is actually all one word. Right now on the site, you have it listed as "Cold Fusion". You will probably get more traffic if you list it as all one word as that's how most people search for it.

2. You might want to consider putting up a link or form to allow people to submit new blogs for you to aggregate. Currently, there are over 350 ColdFusion blogs that I'm aware of. With only four on your site right now, opening up the submission process could get you a lot more content quickly.

Best of luck with the site.

Todd,

The error in ColdFusion spelling will be corrected soon...

Well, we actually are not ColdFusion professionals. Geexoo is more an
aggregator for the tech domain, with CF being only one of them...the
idea was that if we aggregated the feeds for the best blogs for about
40 tech topics all in one place, many folks could find it convenient and
useful...sure, we are not experts, but we hope to learn along the way...

thanks for your constructive inputs, have a nice day!

Cheers

Thanks Rob for taking time to provide detailed comments.

I think the idea of a submission for blogs is a very useful one. It did
strike us, but as not as quickly as it did to you though :-) , we should be
including that feature soon.

Though I was not the one who did the searching for the CF blogs, I think
in general we found that while there were a good number of blogs on each
topic, the number of blogs that were even reasonably updated were few
and far between. But we will be running another search for good blogs in
a week or so, and I'm hoping topics such as CF get more blogs included.

Thanks once again for your detailed feedback, best of luck to you too!

Yes, the spelling mistake will be rectified soon, thank you!

Hi Rob,

I have made the changes @ Geexoo for ColdFusion (it now reads
ColdFusion), and the URL now redirects to the corrected page. Many thanks
once again for your kind suggestion

Have also included a few more blogs (including yours) in the list
