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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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.

Enough With the RSS Monetization Already

 
 

Monetization of RSS seemed to be one of the great buzz-words at the Syndicate conference, with publishers and marketers wondering just how they can monetize their RSS feeds.

As was to be expected, there's really no consensus on just what might work best in terms of monetization, although RSS advertising is picking up genereous support in the industry.

But why this rush to monetize RSS?

Of course we all want to make money with it, but let's not forget that RSS is just one tool in our marketing toolbox, just one piece of our marketing strategy puzzle.

Will you be making money off RSS through increased search engine rankings? Through new content delivery tactics? Through improved customer relationships? Through sales facilitation through your feed content?

Sorry, but RSS won't be making you money (except of course if you're selling RSS ad space) all by itself, your entire marketing strategy will.

But it's up to you to figure out how to best use RSS within your marketing mix to support your strategy and business goals.
