A now "deceased" website on RSS marketing and RSS publishing - a look at the history of internet marketing

A Note from the Author: The RSS Diary is Closed

rssdiary.marketingstudies.net was built to help marketers get the most from RSS. However, much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.

Since I've moved on to other interests in internet marketing years ago, the site is now officially closed, and only remains online as an archive of a part of internet marketing's past. This is how we used to see RSS between 2004 - 2007. We don't, anymore, but there's no harm in having a small part of our past available online.

With that, I'm also making the e-book that started all of this, Unleas the Marketing and Publishing Power of RSS, available for free download.

Call to RSS Publishers: Best Practices for Republishing Syndicated Content

 
 

As already noted, ripping off syndicated content for commerical purposes without RSS publisher consent is becoming an increasing problem in the RSS world.

Jason Calacanis, one of the largest blog (and consequently RSS) publishers just added his thoughts, giving us the publishing perspective of the problem.

Certainly one of the problems is that right now there are no established best practices to govern the republishing of RSS syndicated content. It's about time to make them.

I'm calling out to all RSS publishers to put down your comments (below) on what are acceptable republishing practices as far as you are concerned. In the end, we can take these and come to some sort of consensus on what constitutes best practices and guidelines for everyone.

If you decide to participate, please evade terms such as "non-commercial use", but be concrete in what you allow and what you do not allow.

Thank you.
