The plug-in offers three distinct value propositions for publishers:

  1. Free – no cost to download, install, and/or use the plug-in
  2. Revenue – a new source of revenue from advertising embedded in answers.  Ad impression, click tracking, and payment collection is handled by RealtyBaron
  3. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – When a blog sources a question, the blog earns a “clean” link back to the blog from all web sites publishing that question.  Plus, there is potentially thousands of new pages of free, relevant content for search engines to index on the blog’s site.

We’re making a development copy of the plug-in available today to get some early feedback:

I just couldn’t take Blogger‘s down time and limited features anymore. Pardon the hiccups while I continue to ramp up on the new blogging platform. Thanks!
