    Hey guys,

    I just checked my website stats and it seems an incredible amount of hits go to my "feed" (that I didn't even know I had setup?!) and I was looking into monetizing it - a few searches showed that Adsense no longer offer this option.

    So, I was wondering if any of you guys make money from your RSS feeds and if you could send any tips my way.

    Thanks! :)

    Nobody reads RSS feeds... sorry. Those are bots. When was the last time you read an RSS feed? If you're the NY Times, people might be subscribing, or media outlets are scraping your feed for content on their sites, but for a small site or blog, the only use for RSS is SEO benefit from submission to aggregators to get some nice domian references to your site, plus you content will be very quickly indexed.

    Oh right. I didn't know as I've never used them anyway, but thought some people still did.
