RSS FEEDS: Whither Thou Goest?
I open up the 'Feed Reader' every day on my laptop and cruise
the 'news feeds' I 'subscribe' to. The amount of information is
now overwhelming, I need to just 'subscribe' to only the 'feeds'
that are of immediate interest, else I would be reading 'feeds'
twenty four hours every day.
When I click on a link to find out more about a news item, I
am taken to a web page with the article of news on it, also there
are banner ads, advertising icons to click on, and other side
news items to click to take me elsewhere.
The potential for advertising on those web pages for
interested marketers is great, not withstanding the change in the
news article each day on that web page. One day it might be about
Amazon and the 'outage's' they kept getting, or the next it could
be a pending court case about 'cybersquatting' a brand name.
Whatever article is shown the advertisers get their message
across. It may not be part of the advertising ploy to sell goods
and services from that advert, but to 'brand' their products, or
name, for future sales.
One research company predicts internet advertising revenues
will rise by 19% next year, they also predict that newspaper
advertising will drop considerably.
Future habits of net cruisers will be to immediately open up
the 'feeds' and cruise all the latest news, in contrast to going
for Google and Yahoo, inputting search terms, and then cruising
only those web sites that come up. Please! Don't laugh, most of
us still do this!
If a web site has not got it's own 'news feed', it will not
get any 'eyeballs'.
Those interested in marketing to the masses should think about
trying to get adverts placed on pages of those sites with a 'news
feed', with their name, or web address written prominently, for
cruisers to come and visit, but the main objective is to create
'branding'.
The usage of search engine's for locating web sites will
decline, unthinkable at the moment for most internet users, but
their rss feeds directories will be the most sought after to be
able to access more 'feeds'. So search engine's will still
survive, but usage habits will change.
The 'big-dogs' in rss feeds update news on their 'feeds' every
fifteen minutes or so, they know that to keep a captive
readership that they have to update frequently, or they will lose
'eyeballs' to some other service that's giving out more frequent
news. This is critical from an advertisers point of view who
wants his ads showing on web pages with updated news as
frequently as possible.
I can feel the nudging elbow's already as advertisers are
trying to get the best 'spots'.
The most money to be gained from rss feeds is by the person
who owns one, the advertising revenue from 'spots' on the web
pages the 'feed' points to will be flooding in, and with the
decline in effectiveness of newspaper advertising, the rss feeds
are the only place most advertisers are going to spend their
money. The younger tech-savvy 18-24 year old's don't buy
newspapers, they also don't switch on the television as much
anymore, so television advertisers are looking at rss feeds,
especially the big media companies who have millions of ad
dollars to spend.
Remember this, anybody, even you, can put up a rss feed.
