RSS Feeds Are Getting Blitzed!

No Gravatar

I don’t get huge traffic here. However, like many bloggers, I’d like to grow it. Whilst I realize that content is king, and traffic growth doesn’t happen overnight, I’m very much feeling that Feedburner’s somewhat erratic performance isn’t helping to acheive my aims here.

So, after some careful consideration, and research, I’m switching over to FeedBlitz.

They appear to offer more services, and from what I gather from other users, better reliability.

So, to that end, I’ve shut off the links here to Feedburner.

If all goes well I shall be doing this on all the blogs I maintain and administer over the next couple of months.

If you’re reading this via the feed, you’ll still get this for the next 30 days. In about 15 days, you’ll get a reminder that the feed is closing, and the easiest way to change to the new FeedBlitz feed is to simply unsubscribe from the current feed in your reader, and resubscribe with the RSS link in your browser address window, or the little RSS FEED icon, on the left hand side.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line, a tweet, a comment on friendfeed, or a comment on this post.

Feedburner Adsense

The rumors are apparently true. RSS feeds with Google AdSense are coming next week.

The AdSense Code: What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense

That means contextual adverts in your Feedburner RSS feeds, that will be CPM based, which means you get paid on the number of ad impressions – so the more subscribers that you have, the more revenue you will generate.

It’s being rolled out to a select group of Adsense publishers first of all, but then it will be extended to all Adsense and Feedburner publishers in the near future.
