Blog Feeds Monetizing
Feed is an important tool to catch up your reader. My personal experience shows more or less 50% of reader of blog comes from feed reader. So if you are interested in earning bucks from blog, you better not ignore the possibility of making your feed monetize. Yes there was a time when feeds(RSS, RSS2, XML, ATOM etc.) was just used to deliver updates of your blog to readers, but mates time has changed. If you are blogging to earn some extra cash or full time professional blogger ignoring feed monetizing is suicide (50% of your possible earning go down in the drain).
What is feed Monetizing?
Making your feed lucrative or money-generator. Almost same like your blog, showing ads and referral and earn money. But since feeds of blog aren’t an as usual web page you can not just edit and put some html code to show advertisements. Things are a little tricky than blog advertising here.
How do I monetize my feeds?
The million dollar question, that roles in our head. If you did some research on feed advertisement, you should have noticed feed monetizing is a total mystery. Reason is- the feed are mostly scripted in XML which is a lot different and very strict coding regulation, on the other hand most of the ads are wither pure HTML or JavaScript, which are very hard to integrate with each other. But as I mentioned before things has changed, now we can make our feed fruitful just like our blog. These are the ways and methods without editing your XML feed-
