Just a feedback : I was intrested in promoting only one domain. So I always looked at its stats and did'nt find any encouraging results. So I left this thread. However, when I looked at the stats of other two domains advertised, I found that traffic from feedburner only stands second. i.e. feedburner burner has been second most traffic sender to my those domains Although the number of hits are not up to the mark. I believe as the service becomes more popular it will be more useful for getting traffic. I also think that traffic also has something to do with domain name. The more easy sounding domains have more hits. So there you have one more secret to getting traffic. Cheers all
ok,it's been a week and awstats show that only 2-3 visitors have come from the RSS feeds..in fact what i can say is it's been kinda ripoff
People who are suggesting that they have been ripped off really need to look at the bigger picture. I would also appreciate it if you wouldn't make nonsensical statements suggesting that I am a scammer! The feed is being syndicated on many other websites, for example APlusProxy.com and AssBan.com. Some people choose to integrate it into their homepage with iGoogle. My subscribers continually use the feed throughout the day and have access to your link(s) for 7 days. It's a great way for advertising and promoting your proxy as it will crop up in many different places. I have a subscriber who receives my content via his 3G Smartphone. The hits that you say "have come from the RSS feeds" may just be hits from the feed that is hosted on Feedburner. That doesn't take into consideration clicks from Firefox's Live Bookmarks (the bulk of our subscriptions), clicks from people's home pages, clicks from all the other websites that syndicate the feed, clicks from various news aggregators and direct traffic as a result of being published in the feed. If your not happy with the service and cannot appreciate how useful this feed is, cool. All I can do is thank you for your involvement in the experiment and wish you good luck with your proxy. However a lot of people are enjoying the benefits of being featured in my feed and can appreciate what it is we have to offer. - Matt
