To get things going we have put together the bare bones of a checklist marketing managers can use to help them put together an effective RSS marketing campaign. This is based on a training session I did with some senior marketing managers.

Beware, it doesn’t provide the answers, just the questions to get you started and a structured outline to follow.

Feedback always welcomed.

One of my daily tasks is to keep an eye on what’s going on in the world of RSS, today I decided to input RSS into Google Trends just to see what is happening.

The interesting stuff however is in the countries tab, it seems Russia is leading the way - hello (privyet) Russia.

As you can see the USA comes in 9th, the UK doesn’t even figure in the top 10.

However the search for RSS generator is a different story.
