Google Indexing XML?
08.30.04

Yesterday in my google quest for information I stumbled upon, to my surprise an indexed RSS feed! That ranked quite well for the search phrase I was looking for. It was clear the site and feed were popular, and I'm not quite sure how it was indexed but could this be a new era for Google?

Kanoodle Serves RSS Ads
08.20.04

Kanoodle said yesterday that it struck a distribution deal with news aggregator Feedster to sprinkle paid listings in Feedster's feeds of search results.

The deal expands the reach of Kanoodle's content listings program, called ContextTarget. Kanoodle also distributes its content listings to partners such as CBS MarketWatch and MSNBC.com.

Feedster, San Francisco, which indexes more than 8,000 news sources, lets users have their searches sent to them through the Really Simple Syndication feed. Feedster already displays paid search listings on its Web site through Yahoo's Overture Services. Its search feeds will include Kanoodle's ContextTarget listings labeled as advertisements.

Feedster will offer its users the option of paying $10 per year, via PayPal, to receive an ad-free RSS feed.
