Promoting a news service

feedburner is just an example of a way to syndicate your feeds, think of your feeds as simply an extension to the site, there are dedicated feed directories and other sites, feed optimisation can net you a fair view extra visitors,  via your feeds so if you go down the is route its important to sort out the advertising side of your feed, when I get a minute I will digg through Google Reader for a few good links on feed optimisation and marketing.

The content side its worth using the blog as a content generator for the site, it really is making a difference already and should be given a more prominent place to help the engines, while you I and people visiting the site know that the site is useful you have to see it from a search engine view, more unique content more chances of hits.

Pay per post sounds like a good idea. Maybe I should spend some money for some blog posts from busy tech related blogs.

at the moment there is a 50% discount at reviewme.com for new advertisers! enter "trial" during you order.

From that perspective I know how a feed can help Right now I have an addthis button which can be used to subscribe to the feed from any service of that type. We also have a button for social bookmarks, and a google module which allows people to check the top stories from their google homepage.

Tim you are right about the content thing. I should start posting more stuff from the site in the blog. In the beginning I've just puted it there to log the changes in the application and get more feedback from the users.

That is really strange. Maybe they've changed their payment processor lately or they have a different processor for each country?

So far I have optimized my feeds and gave them more visibility in order to get more subscribers. Also I've added some more content sources and I am trying to be more active in the blog. Also I've made some myspace promotions with some success but I guess I need more friends to my account in order to make this promotion work better Last I worked the SEO a little more and now the site gets a little more than 1000 daily visitors from search engines so I guess so far we are ok from this promotion.

Today's job is to promote our new revenue sharing system as I think it have potential (at least if some serious people trust me with this)

The next step is to promote the site using a social bookmark submission service. As the site actually established from social bookmark traffic I guess this promotion worths. BTW can somebody help me find some cool title/description for my first listing? I want to post something for the video section of the site, so I guess I will use a title like "Cool videos from all around the web" or something like that but I have no clue what to use for description. Can you help me on that? Would it be better to post a listing from the videos or the video section itself?

Thanks in advance for any feedback
