A proven and elegant model.

This way READERS can print only the RSS feeds they want and CONTENT PROVIDERS can generate a source of revenue through advertisments with thier RSS feeds.

What a no brainer for Newspapers with RSS feeds!

Low returns in an RSS feed is better than nothing, if your blog makes money only on ads.

I’ve just started looking in to this for my websites. I am just starting out. I am finding success in that I am getting more feed access, but the nature of my website is such that unless I get people clicking on ads, I have to wonder if it is worth the effort and trouble to make a great website with content that takes time to produce?

I need to get some sort of advantage out of RSS feed reeding. Maybe there is another way besides embedded ads?

Darren,
Thanks for the mention of Pheedo. Much appreciated. A few additional facts about Pheedo:

1. We our platform agnostic. We have way to hook into most blogging systems (Blogger, WP, MT, Typepad, Drupal, etc) including 3rd party feed analytics services. Our system is quite flexible.
2. We have a self-service sign-up for publishers with any sized feed. Publisher can start earning money on day one. Once the feed is a certain size we make that available for advertisers to buy directly which typically means higher payouts to the publisher.

I would be happy if you would give us a try.

Thank you,
Bill Flitter
Founder, Pheedo.

In the absence of AdSense for Feeds and Y!PN being opened up, I’m using FeedFlares with modest results!

Cary, I have to admit I didn’t try to implement it. When I was looking over the instructions at Yahoo, they mentioned copying/pasting their code to certain files. I wasn’t sure if FeedBurner uses those same files since the WP plugin redirects the feed to FB. So I went to the FB site to find out. In the forum area, I found a q&a about Adsense RSS ads being supported but not Yahoo RSS ads.

[...] After Google very few company/organization came out to offer feed advertising, due to it’s complexity I guess. And also many bloggers said most of the feed monetizing failed to give any significant amount. It’s really a negative blow since feed carry out almost 40% of the blog reader, in most of the case. From the business perspective this is a great loss of resources, when a large portion of your content goes without monetizing. My idol Daren Rowse puts a fabulous article “RSS Advertising Options“, which will give you an idea of feed monetizing scope and opportunities. [...]

text-link-ads.com also has an RSS feed program. Clicksor has an XML feed program (don’t know if that is the same thing and I don’t recommend clicksor)

I’ll have to look into the other affiliates listed. Never even considered feed advertising.

Ken, I successfully used Yahoo RSS ads with Feedburner for quite a while. Is there a new conflict of some sort?

I generally stick to affiliate links in content, and sometimes tag some links on the end of each feed item, or have some items in feeds that are purely an advert.

To benefit from content ending up on fed blogs, I make sure that posts start with lots of tag links, though I still have to do a little formatting for that on my new central blog.

Then again, most of my blogs are niche websites outside blogging or internet marketing. The subscripion rate for those sites is horrible, both for RSS and email, but they are my highest earners. Many of them earn more per day than my wordpress plugins site (currently) earns per month.

Feedvertising is working great for me. It’s got a big point in its favor. It gives the smaller sites the opportunity to get in on “institutional” advertising instead of pay per click, which doesn’t seem to work well in feeds. In offline advertising, there’s a lot of money in institutional advertising that’s more about brand building than the immediate sale. That model is well suited to feeds.

I’m a YPN beta tester. When I looked into their RSS option, I discovered that it does not work if you burn your feeds with FeedBurner. I’m sure there’s a way to hack around it, but what’s the point of doing that when most publishers make so little with RSS ads.

I haven’t really experimented with any form of RSS ads. This is because I suspect they don’t really generate much revenue and I prefer using the RSS feeds to gain traffic on blogs. Unlike giving all the info in RSS by providing full feeds which makes it more reasonable to put ads in them, I guess.

It could be interesting to hear about what kind of CTR/revenue compared to subscribers some see with ads in RSS…
