    Hello,

    I am sure almost everybody here uses wordpress somewhere just as i do. I just managed to get a script to automate getting featured links at google search engine using their Co-op network.

    The script uses wordpress templace calls to generate the <Query> => <Response> XML file that google coop needs to be showing your results.

    Just in case somebody is interested, i am posting this here.

    If you have 15 seconds of spare time, please reward me a digg.
    Good luck, Ruslan

    Looks cool, but I have to admit - I am still totally lost in terms of what the Co-op can do for me. The results you show in the blog post (excellent article) are keyed to YOUR co-op account. Here is the chicken and egg problem. Unless someone has a subscription to your site in their co-op account, they will not see those types of results. Am I correct in that understanding?

    If I can get a better handle on the co-op, I will probably try out the plugin for WP - great thinking!

    You are 100% correct. For hackers, a 10Kb malware can do you the mass subscriptions :D but for us the right people, i believe loyal readers will be only happy to subscribe. You have to get them the subscription methods ready (just as i did) then its up to them weather or not they want to see special results from your blog.

    And, thank you for taking a look and for calling it excellent.. i always knew i am the worst keyboard user ever to meet ;) Thanks again, good luck.
