Readers or ads….readers….or….ads
admin | April 30, 2007I’m still pondering the eternal paradox which is RSS.
On one hand know that the majority of people who will read this will do it via an RSS feed, whether it’s read in Live Bookmarks in Firefox, a feed reader, or another outlet.
By the same token, I don’t have the size, stature or chance to place adverts in my RSS feed yet, so anyone reading this via RSS can’t be tempted by any links.
So do I start publishing a truncated RSS, against my better judgement, to get people to come and view my blog to try and eke out a few extra dollars, or do I continue in the hope that enough people will still be intrigued enough to visit?
It’s a micro version of the problem facing most online publishers in one form or another. Whether or not I can solve it satisfactorily, remains to be seen…
On another note, I’m at internetworld tomorrow at Earl’s Court in London. See if you can spot the Badger!

People who are savvy enough to use a feed reader
Anonymous | May 1, 2007People who are savvy enough to use a feed reader are probably already using ad blockers, or wouldn’t click on the ads anyway. Therefore,you should use a feed reader. You might find that this means your posts arertead more frequently and possibly get linked by other blogs.
There is my two penneth
Kind regards,

BadgerGravling | May 3, 2007Unfortunately, although blogger accepts the code for rss adverts:
“Please be aware that our beta test of AdSense for feeds is full and we are not accepting applications at this time. If you’re interested in participating in AdSense for feeds in the future, please check back here for updates.”
And it’s been like that for quite a while
