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

Rok Hrastnik

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much has changed since the site was last updated in 2007 - and it's pretty fair to say that it's now completely outdated.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

More Clear on RSS Advertising from Feedster

 
 

Chris Richardson reminds us of Feedster's latest moves in to RSS and blog advertising space, while stating that not much is known at this time:

"However, this is where Feedster's information stops, for now. If you are interested in Feedster's RSS advertising service, all you can currently do is sign up. No further details are available yet. Unfortunately, this includes format details about the ads and the amount of ads that will be appearing."

While all is not clear yet, Feedster has put up some basic information for publishers, allowing them to sign-up for their programs.

The more standard option is blog advertising, in partnership with AdBrite. The more interesting development is targeted ads in RSS feeds, where Feedster will compete with new Google AdSense RSS ads, if they ever come out of beta.

"Feedster serves subject targeted ads in feeds. With over 6 million feeds in our database, we are able to attract top brand advertisers seeking distribution. Let us know if you're interested in learning how you can get paid for putting ads in your feeds."

And finally, though not disclosing any information, Feedster is promising to make podcast ads available soon.
