Zemanta says their tools can help increase traffic to your blog because of:

1. better annotation of posts, links, images with actual crawlers for Google and Yahoo can rate the post higher and glean more context from your post; and

2. placement of links to related posts across blogosphere helps get more track back for the post which can also increase traffic.While Zemanta admits that their product is still geared more toward the personal blogger versus the professional blogger, they suggest more layout flexibility and augmented features that will be of interest to pro-bloggers are coming down the road.

Here are some of the new developments with Zemanta:

1. Zemanta is no longer just a Firefox plug-in but is also available through Internet Explorer.

2. Zemanta tools are now integrated with WordPress and Movable Type software eliminating the need for yet another browser extension for users of those blogging software products.
