Unmonitized Feeds!

Blog monitization is important in today's world. Every company out there is out to cover you for even moving a finger on the web. Everything is incentivized or ready to be monitized. But looking out at my recent earning reports, I have come to realise that one of the only things that remain to be monitized is of course the RSS feeds. I mean absolutely everything has been hampered and tampered with except the feeds.

This is sad because some of the world's biggest blogs have over 40,000 to 70,000 feed readers. That means everytime a blog posting is made, over 70,000 impressions of that particular feed is practically garunteed! That also means, its that much easier to reach the loyal readers as they would have subscribed to the blog postings if they were that loyal. Especially with most bloggers blogging at least 2 - 3 posts a day, that means over 50,000 pageviews of that feed would be syndicated in a manner only RSS can. What is surprising is that only a couple have attempted to monitize the feeds on blogs and none have been successful at it as well. I mean a popular blogger like John Chow earns only $12 from his blog through feeds at feedburner and he has over 26,000 readers. Just goes to show how much work is needed to be done in this particular arena.

Personally, I think the innovation of this technology is so recent and is taken so lightly that most companies dismiss the idea totally. This is great for getting exposure on mass bloggers. Unfortunately, there will be a while before a phoenix will rise from the ashes in this area. Lets hope feedburner does something about the lack of advertisements and prove to be a success.

Digg Traffic, Annoying Leeches?

As it turns out the latest analysis is out, it works out that Diggers click three times less than average google'ers. That means that chances of digg traffic ever to be monitized is close to never! The three main giants of blogosphere had the same view as far digg traffic goes and said that the best thing to do after that is to blog very nice catchy titled pages because right after getting dug by users, they didnt just see a surge in normal traffic and digg traffic but also from some google.com and other search engine traffic. This means that google, believe it or not, gives a crap about digg.com. This is shocking knews to me because I felt digg goes against everything that google has ever tried to avoid. Digg users are basically one of those who come, visit and leave instantly, never stay for a chat and do not care much for your site. They do give awesome cliks but compared to the traffic and bandwidth leeching, your better off with out them, they almoast cause so much CPU load that your blog/site crashes as it is.

The residual effect of Digg is something that most bloggers/site owners do not talk about. I think its this traffic one should always aim his/her site for. What I mean by residual traffic is when you blog something and it gets dugg, if people find interesting, they go home and blog about it on their blogs, this gives you residual traffic as it builds up some normal traffic as well as your search engine traffic as search engines start giving you more weight for your actions and reactions. That is by far the only thing worth doing for as far as digg.com traffic goes. Something to think about when you try to market your digg.com traffic is if its worth the pain of blogging for them as they end up screwing you more often than making you any money!
