Feedage.com RSS Directory Newsletter.
Newsletter November 2011 Issue No. 18
Know your Feedage.com User Rating - Your Feeds depend on it.
I want to start off by saying if you submit good quality feeds, you don’t spam our RSS directory and you are not submitting thousands of affiliate feeds then these changes should not effect you. Keep up the great work! Feedage.com is committed to helping you promote your content, and to users looking for your high quality content.
To cut down on users intent on spamming our directory and submitting thousands of affiliate feeds we have enabled some new rules. Users now need to maintain a user rating of 50 to submit RSS Feeds to the Feedage.com RSS Directory.
Your user rating is displayed on your profilepage and you can get additional detailson how your rating is calculated. The two most critical elements of your user rating are the grade of your RSS Feeds, and the number of duplicate Feeds you submit. New users get a user rating of 0 until we rate them, usually within a few days. Until a user is rated, you can submit feeds.
To learn how to improve your Feed grade you can read about our Feedage.com Grading Systemand you can user our Feed Inspectorto get hints on what to improve.
Duplicate Feeds are probably even more important to maintaining a good user rating. Duplicate feeds are where the content of the feed is identical to one or more feeds you submitted. While we have always blocked duplicate URLs from being submitted users have found ways to submit the same content under different URLs. While you think this might improve your chances of getting syndicated, it will now lower your user rating.
To help users identify duplicate feeds your My Feedswill display duplicates will a red back-ground. You will need to delete the duplicate.
Is Feedage.com against affiliate marketing? No. We have many users that run successful affiliate marketing businesses by adding value in the form of reviews and clean promoting methods. We welcome these users. We do not want users submitting the 12 most common misspellings of IPOD, or the same feed with four different URLs.
