It's been buggin' me for a couple of years and I expect it to bug me as long as I blog. Thanks for all your good thoughts. I've picked up the discussion on Wren's new post from Jan. 15.

Thanks for all your good thoughts. I’ve picked up the discussion on Wren’s new post from Jan. 15.

And even if not, anyone who wants to comment has to click through to the website. So, no, being read in a feedreader doesn't bother me at all. But to be fair, I'm not relying on ad revenue so clicks vs subscribers in feedreaders doesn't make any difference to me. I'm more interested in comments (dialog, community) at this point. And as noted, it's possible to place ads or other content in your feed posts. I know feedburner has the capacity to do this, and I think there are some wordpress plugins that also support feed footers.

And I feel really, bad. Really, really bad. I'll try and look more often, and click through now and again so someone will make some dough (is that how it works?). Tangentially, some (all?) bloggers would prefer readers to view their writing/photos/paintings etc (or take their polls!) on the web page they've painstakingly and lovingly constructed or modified. Does it bother anyone that RSS readers (if that's what they're called) remove that intimacy? Finally, I suspect Heather is right, there must be coding to make sponsors/advertisers show up in a footer. Anyone know how to take advantage of us "Reader-readers"? (Note: if I just coined a new term, I'll be charging royalties to use it . . . ). -Mike Hey, I apologized! And I feel really, bad. Really, really bad.

However, there is at least one blog that I read in a reader (Birdchick) that shows some of her badges at the end of each post within the reader, so I don't know if it's just a matter of coding, but maybe ads could be brought over to readers? And shame on you for not looking at all of our beautifully crafted pages! ;) Noflickster, you bring up an excellent point!

Maybe I'm alone here, but I tend to read almost everything in Google Reader - I hardly ever see any of your blogs. I apologize to each and every one of you, I know you work hard on your layout and I'm missing whatever gadgety-thingies you've included on your side bar, but time is in too short supply and there are too many people I like to keep up with. So, if I (and others) don't see your page nor your advertisers, how does that affect the potential of advertising on your site? The answer to this piece of the puzzle may be obvious, but this is why I'm in science and not in business . . . . Fascinating discussion, from all sides! -Mike I’m coming late to this as well but one question nags at me that (may) tie together two of Wren’s NBN blog posts: if you place advertising on your blog, as I think is proposed here as a possible source of revenue, what percentage of readers would actually see it if you typically read the content in a reader?
