I have really been looking for a good post about rss in general. I am real curious to the ideas of contests and trading or exchanging in general. Blog Catalog has a couple groups that will do exchanges and I like this concept but am surprised to not see allot more of it going on. If I type in technorati fave exchange in a search engine the results are huge.thanks Great post. I have really been looking for a good post about rss in general.

If they spend the time figuring how to create good contents rather than managing all those "trades", the result can be far more attractive. <strong>@ daniel</strong> Well, can I say good contents is a way to conduct both the marketing methods? Although it might seem rather cheap as contents normally do not require much investment, it is the true value of a blog and for me, it should be the main attraction for readers. <strong>@ seo blogger</strong> The quality, not just only contents and your marketing methods must be changing and this is why it fluctuates. This happens to all bloggers as well. Another thing is that the bug that Feedburner always encounter but I hope this is not the case though. :mrgreen: @ The Masked Millionaire

Old-school marketing departments are usually split straight down the middle:

A: ‘Customer Acquisition’
B: ‘Customer Retention’

The first group go out there to find new customers for the business. They’re the kind of people who give out introductory offers (the equivalent of “Sign up to our RSS feed for a Free E-Book!”)

It’s short-sighted by design - the only purpose is to get new people through the door.

The second group then take these new & existing customers and come up with offers/products/content to make sure they stay customers.

If you’re giving away a free ebook, or running a competition for subscribers, then you need to realise that this is just an ‘acquisition’ tactic. If you don’t back it up with anything to ‘retain’ subscribers, then you’ve missed the point.

I hope life’s good,
