Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion: Techcrunch RSS Subscriber Payola?

    FYI. Google Reader does have some default subscription options. If you click on the browse link next to the add subscription on on the left sidebar, there are several generic categories, click on the more bundles. TechCrunch is in the Technology one.

    Thanks. It would be interesting to see what happens to the subscriber base when put into one of those little subscriber packs.

    I tend to look at feed subscribers with skepticism. Techcrunch boasts almost 500k subscribers, but usually only has around 500 concurrent readers. This is a colossal discrepancy of 10^3.

    I strongly suspect that nearly everyone who subscribes to the feed of my knitting blog actually reads the feed! :)

    Wow, way to lay it on the line for a layperson to understand.

    You just got a new subscriber.

    I like your hacked plugins too.

    Payola isn't just for Radio and Television, it's on the web also.

    Probably of no consequense, but i wonder if one would see an alexa rank improvement from subscribing to as many feed services as possible.
