Research: RSS Users a ‘Captive Audience’

Published on May 21, 2006 | Email this article

With 90 percent of RSS users choosing to read the entire feed content in the aggregator environment, whether they’re using full text or partial text feeds, publishers may want to consider advertising at the feed reader or aggregator “point of consumption,” according to Pheedo, an RSS marketing and analytics business, BtoB reports.

“The RSS user is a captive audience,” said Bill Flitter, Pheedo co-founder and vp of marketing.

The company’s third quarterly “Pheed Read” report released last week on RSS usage patterns is based on the activity of its online network of over 8,000 publishers and advertisers. According to Flitter, the next study will involve a third-party researcher and focus exclusively on business-to-business patterns.
