Monitoring Your RSS Feeds

December 17th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Measuring and tracking RSS while a fairly simple concept, is really anything but. Unlike websites, RSS have the added caveat of potential syndication, making accurate tracking a challenge to anyone but the extremely tech savvy.

It is not unrealistic for marketers to want to know how many subscribers they have, which items in their feeds attract the most interest, or how many click-throughs are generated as a result of an RSS feed.

There are a number of 3rd party providers who focus on tracking the consumption of RSS feeds. Some solutions are rudimentary but likely sufficient for a small business testing the waters with RSS. Other RSS tracking solutions are more complex and while they can come close to being accurate, with syndication there is no solution that tracks with 100% accuracy.

Techniques Used to track RSS Consumption
Small businesses can view web logs to provide information on how many times a specific file (RSS feed) is requested. The logs and information is rudimentary but will give a basic sense of a feeds success. Many 3rd party tracking options have additional tracking information available.

Hosting
The most common method to track the number of feed accesses or individuals accessing a feed is to use a 3rd party feed host. Companies like FeedBurner essentially track feeds based on accesses. The downside to using a 3rd party like Feedburner, is that the url is a FeedBurner url and any PageRank or popularity associated with the url will benefit the feed host rather than the feed creator. Additionally, no distinction is made between unique views or syndicate feeds.

FeedBurner provides a free no frills service to host RSS feeds and they have been proactive in circumventing user concerns. Recently implementing a service that eases users concerns about migrating from FeedBurner. There is a 3 step process for users interested in migrating from FeedBurner’s free service, implementing a permanent redirect, and url forwarding.

Details can be found at: http://www.burningdoorc.om/feedburner/archives/001251.html

Some publishers, who were concerned about lock-in or wanted to retain control of the domain and feed urls often resist a hosting service. The new program FeedBurner Partner Pro is not free, but allows for users to point to their own domain, retaining complete control of their feeds without sacrificing statistical tracking.

The downside to using a service like FeedBurner is that some filtering applications used on corporate proxy servers block feeds residing on FeedBurner or other free hosts.

Redirects
Companies like SyndicateIQ have more complex tracking solutions that generate unique urls for each subscriber. The tracking benefits to such a customized solution is obvious. Individual user habits can be monitored and any users abusing their access and inappropriately syndicating a feeds content can have their feed turned off. The downside of course is that the success of RSS is in a large part due to the anonymity. Users don’t want their personal habits tracked.

Considering the venture capital interest in these 3rd party hosting services. It is important to note that their value is in the data that they collect. As with any 3rd party service, it goes without saying that publishers should read the privacy policy carefully, be aware of who owns the rights to the collected information, and how that information might be used. It goes without saying that the value in many of the free services currently available lies in their aggregate data.

Uniquely Named Transparent Images
Uniquely named transparent 1×1 graphics can be added to the description field of an RSS feed. Users can use standard web logs to see the number of times the image is viewed and determine the number of times the feed was accessed.

Each individual using RSS needs to make a decision of the extent and importance of the analytics they require. Realizing that any system they employ is not going to be perfect.

Get your share of 85 million…

August 2nd, 2009 | Add a Comment

Hey,

Many marketers have an amazing ability to churn out successful product after successful product. But did you know that very often, those “successful products” only account for a small percentage of their true income. The real money is in the secret strategies they never talk about. If the marketing experts DO allude to these strategies they rarely tell you how to use them effectively. As a result, marketing success often takes on the appearance of illusive “magic” and only THEY know the trick. But you know…magic is only magic until you know the secret, and I have found a “nobody” who has uncovered one of those secrets.

Tony Laidig, a graphic artist who has been quietly working behind the scenes in the publishing industry for years, has “cracked the code” to finding amazing Public Domain content. The reason this is so important is that there are literally over 85 million books in the Public Domain…85 million!! I was blown away by the amount of information Tony has amassed about the Public Domain (and a bit frustrated that he’s telling so much). His new product, “The Public Domain Code Book” is a serious goldmine for creating information products and could very well cause a gold rush stampede into the mostly unknown Public Domain treasure fields.

Most successful marketers are using Public Domain content somewhere in their business. I suggest you do the same, and Tony finally makes it easy to do so. I have my copy of his product and wouldn’t give it up for anything, and if you’re smart, you would rush to get your copy as well.

http://www.thepublicdomainexpert.com/cmd.php?Clk=3174966

Make sure you also check out Tony’s bonuses. Personally I think he’s crazy to make the offer he is making, but sometimes people just get carried away with over-delivering. Go check it out now!

Thomas Sherwood

PS – Don’t miss out on Tony’s “Crack the Code” contest. This crazy guy is giving away some potentially serious cash…IF…you solve the puzzle he includes in the book. I’ve not seen anything in the industry quite like this. It’s brilliant!

US President Teaches You Marketing

July 2nd, 2009 | Add a Comment

Dear Friend:

Crazy as it sounds, but President Obama is gonna help you sell more of your stuff.

“Oh, yeah. Right Marlon. Let’s see you ’splain this one to me…”

No seriously. Read this email for the complete scoop. It ain’t gonna cost you a cent, pound or peso. So wadda you got to lose?

Well, it’s about six months into President Obama’s first term. It’s a good time to talk the marketing of a President.

There’s a lot YOU can learn from this year’s election that can show you the path to selling more of your stuff.

Isn’t it kind of strange that the most prestigious job in the U.S. comes down to one thing –

M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G!

See, marketing is about selecting MARKETS for a product or service and designing an APPEAL to that MARKET that will get a response.

That’s what marketing is. The study of and appeal to markets. I bet a lot of people teaching marketing don’t even understand that.

Yeah, you have the traditional marketing mix of product, price, promotion and distribution (or place).

But at heart, it’s just about markets. Who is in the market for MY product (or service).

Think of it like this: The President IS a product that is sold to markets. Who are those markets?

Gays, lesbians, religious groups, right wing, left wing, investors, educators, labor unions, moms ‘n dads, corporations, small businesses, and so forth.

You will hear each of the candidates specifically pick out certain of those groups and make an appeal or promise to them.

The appeal or promise is essentially a HEADLINE. It’s the articulation of a promise or a benefit.

A candidate is in the JOB of picking out groups or markets and making a PROMISE to them of a BENEFIT.

If you WATCH TV, you’ll see them speaking to different groups, making appearances at schools, labor union rallies, army groups, educators and so forth.

All in an effort to GET PUBLICITY for a marketing message delivered to a specific group or audience.

They don’t give a speech ’cause they wanna get their message to the local PTA. They do it because they’ll get national media coverage and gratus media coverage.

So instead of paying for radio ads or TV spots, they get advertising without forking over any green stuff.

You’ll notice they use all the media: TV, radio, billboards, publicity, direct mail, telephones, and more I’m not thinking of right now.

Heck, they even have the equivalent of a commissioned affiliate program — you help ME get elected, and you’ll get pork barrel legislation back in return, or you’ll get a cushy cabinet position…or somethin’ along those lines.

What can YOU learn from this?

What GROUPS are you aiming specific promises or messages at for your product or service?

Even the President lives and dies by marketing. And if he or she needs to know it, don’t you think YOU better know it too?

Best wishes,

Marlon Sanders

P.S. If’n you want a crash course in marketing (both online and offline), you can get it at:

(By the way, if you problems on your PayPal limit, we have an alternative payment method. Just live chat us at amazingformula.com/support)

You may not make it to running for President. But I bet you can get a better job, start a more successful business, promote your group or organization with more success — or help your kids be more successful in life.

THIS is how you do it- for beginners

June 7th, 2009 | 5 Comments

Greetings,

At last year’s UnSeminar Elite workshops, Pat O’Bryan gave each attendee a copy of his Secret Freedom Power Workbook.

The workshop cost about two thousand dollars, and he wanted to make sure his customers got more than their money’s worth.

A lot of people told him that the workbook was worth the price of admission.

It pretty much tells you how to do everything-

- make a web page

- make a download page

- make products fast with public domain resources

- set up a hosting account

- write a sales page

go see for yourself. It’s ridiculous.

http://freedompower.me

This workbook can save you thousands and thousands of dollars- because it shows you- step-by-step – how to
do things you may not already know how to do.

That’s worth some money.

That’s Freedom-Power.

Remember, the general consensus was that this workbook is worth $2,000.

Now, you can get that workbook for a lot less than two thousand bucks.

You can get it for less than a hundred bucks.

You can get it for less than twenty bucks.

Go get it now:

http://freedompower.me

It’s guaranteed.

It’s the secret weapon that has turned several beginning marketers into successful marketers.

If you don’t already have it, it’s what you’ve been waiting for.

http://freedompower.me

c’ya there!

thanks,

Pat O’Bryan

P.S. Yes. I called it a workbook.
But, it’s the easiest, simplest, clearest workbook… I should have called it a “play” book.

You can do it. It’s easy. Go see now.
