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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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

Feedster Moves Deeper in to Advertising Waters

 
 

In our recent interview Scott Rafer made it clear that Feedster is basing their business model on ad sales. As a search engine / content aggregator / reader they certainly have many ad opportunities, many of which Scott already indicated in the interview.

It so doesn't come as a shock that Feedster just partnered with AdBrite to, in their own words, "offer [a] robust ad marketplace for blogs".

"We are pleased to offer the Feedster community the opportunity to join the more than 4,000 sites already taking advantage of AdBrite's ever-growing Internet ad marketplace."

"The program is easy to use and offers the highest payout in the business. After a simple set up process, publishers can set rates, specify placement and approve or reject site-specific ads. Advertisers can search to find individual blogs and customize ad copy for each property or purchase run-of-network ads. Statistical analysis provides easy ROI tracking, historical pricing, and response projections."

More information is supposed to be available here, but there's nothing to note yet, at the time of writing this post entry.

All of this just goes to show that quickly more advertising is coming to an RSS feed and blog near you ...
