Easy RSS Advertising From Pheedo: Ads for Feeds

Pheedo today announced their new service, Ads for Feeds, which allows RSS publishers to easily place ads in their RSS feeds, while at the same time gathering RSS metrics and without redirecting traffic to another domain.

If you've explored the RSS space in more detail you know that free services like FeedBurner allow you to easily place ads in your feeds and measure the feeds themselves, but they require you to direct your visitors to a republished version of your feed on their server.

What this means is that while you do get the ability to place ads and measure your feeds, you do lose some of the search engine optimization impact of RSS, since your RSS feeds are no longer stationed on your domain.

Pheedo's service on the other hand allows you to keep your feeds on your own domain and take advantage of the service by simply pasting their code in your feeds.

There's a premium + version as well, with more features and more in-depth analytics.

New Hope for Branded RSS Readers

Branded RSS Readers never really took off, although they provide marketers with uncounted benefits of better connecting with their customers, while at the same time offering them a valuable service.

I see two key issues preventing branded RSS Reader growth:

a] Most marketers are not ready to invest enough to provide a fully-featured advanced RSS Reader, instead opting to provide branded readers with nothing but the basic feature-sets.

b] If you're an internet user, why use a basic feature-set RSS reader with messages from marketers, if you can get the same functionality for free and without all the added branding?

Notice: company's with strong pull with their prospects, especially media companies, can still get away offering nothing but the simplest features. If you have customer or visitor loyalty, you have pull.

Well, things might actually be looking up ...

As of recently almost no advanced RSS Reader is available for free any longer. Attensa, FeedDeemon and a host of other advanced RSS readers have taken the "purchase" road, starting to charge for their Readers.

So here's an idea for marketers --> why not sponsor an advanced RSS Reader from top RSS Reader vendors, brand it and then give it away for free to your customers?

You'll get a branded RSS reader at a lower cost and your customers will get a valuable free service.

This idea came to me just now, reading how the American Red Cross is working on providing a free branded RSS Reader with their feeds pre-loaded [via Micropersuasion].

Syndicate IQ Shakes the RSS Advertising World With Advanced Ad Serving

Syndicate IQ just announced their RSS ad serving platform that finally brings RSS advertising closer to what "traditional" online advertiers want.

What they're telling right now is:

a] They're able to insert RSS ads into feeds on a per-user basis, regardless of what article the subscriber is currently reading.

b] They can display different versions/formats of the ad, depending on the RSS Reader the subscriber is using.

c] Their RSS ad server integrates with "traditional" online ad servers, centralizing reporting and stats.

More coming on this soon, but until then also read Syndicate IQ's view on the state of RSS advertising, which indicates why the above features are needed.
