I joined Rojo yesterday and thought I might try it out, but when I saw that it used keyword matching to determine which ads to serve, I thought it might be against Adsense policy. I’ve emailed the Adsense team and asked about it, and hopefully they’ve get back to me soon.

I can understand Rojo’s idea that getting a feed subscriber is better than getting a click-through, but I also agree with Darren that getting subscribers through Rojo might be tough.

Hey Darren,
My question is, since I use Blogger w/ atom.xml will it work?
Or will I have to use my Feedburner feed?
Sorry, just call me stupid.

Gracias a Problogger tengo conocimiento de una nueva herramienta para poder promocionar nuestros blogs: FeedShare.

[...] Da es derzeit wohl noch nicht in der deutschen Blogosphäre verankert ist, dürfte es nicht sonderlich viele hilfreiche Klicks geben, aber das ist auch mehr ein Selbstversuch, solange ich Adsense von diesem Blog verbannt habe. Denn nach dem Problogger Daren Rowse könnte der Einsatz von Feedshare ein Verstoß mit den Adsense TOS sein, da diese auch ihre Ads-Anzeigen auf den Inhalt der jeweiligen Website anpassen. [...]

Thanks for the review Darren. It does clarify considerably the pros and cons of the service.

I think though there is potential for a service like this – it certainly sparked my interest when I saw it. I guess if a group of bloggers were interested – a service like this could be set up with -all- the right ingredients (instead of only the partial ingredients offered by Rojo). There has to be some software out there that would do it….

Looks interesting, I’ll give it a try to see if it has any impact as soon as I get around to launching this blog… I keep asking myself what am I waiting for and still can’t answer!

On Techcrunch, Mark Devlin also noted that BlogExplosion recently started a similar service called BlogTextLinks. They serve 5 textlinks from other blogs ( a network of 275,000 to 450,000 text links ! ) and you get 1 impression for every 2 impressions on your site. If you hover your mouse pointer over a text link of the link unit, you get a tooltip of the site with thumbnail and short description. Clicking the link shows the blog immediatelly ( although embedded in a frame from BlogExplosion -)).

Similar to Rojo, they need to allow more control over the look & feel, especially the size of the link unit.

Is BlogSnob/Pheedo any better than Rojo FeedShare?

(-Had a look at the Rojo program and feel much the same as you. I first found it on TechCrunch.)

Thanks for the “things to keep in mind”… I did sign up for the beta, but am now disinclined to put this on my blog.

It’s a shame that it doesn’t has diferent languages. My blogs are all in spanish, so the people visiting my site might not find them interesting.

I think this system is not worth my time.

Hey that’s me up there. Wonders never cease… And I agree with your assessment Darren. I said much the same myself. Be nice if 1) you could control the look of the ad box and 2) have the option to either click through to the person’s site or click through to Rojo. It’s a new toy though so I figure it deserves some slack. See how it grows. Not like it’s difficult to drop it if it’s not your cup of tea.
