RSS Tools
Here are some great tools, most of which I actually use regularly, to implement, market and get free traffic for your blog, RSS feed and podcasts, as well as to read RSS feeds, learn all about RSS and how to make money on the internet with your RSS feeds, blogs and websites. Many of them are covered in more detail in my Free RSS E-book.

AdSense Secrets 4: What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense (Joel Comm): Excellent 2008 e-book about ways to maximize your Google AdSense income to the extreme. I recommend it. You can get a copy of this e-book free when you sign up for a free trial subscription to his newsletter and website. What this book doesn't tell you, however, is how likely it is that Google will arbitrarily shut down your AdSense account forever by falsely accusing you of click-fraud. Google's policy is to punish the AdSense account holder forever instead of going after the owners of the IP addresses which supposedly generated the clicks, if there even were any clicks (Google won't tell you, they just shut you down). Read about my experience here. I no longer advocate using Google's AdSense since they falsely accused me of click-fraud and shut down my account on 6/21/05. If you want to risk your income stream by depending on AdSense for any portion of your income, Joel Comm's e-book is a great guide to optimizing the design and placement of your ads. Just don't be surprised if Google takes back the income you've developed with no warning and no recourse. My suggestion is to use his ideas with Yahoo's new contextual advertising (i.e. AdSense-like) service, or one of Google's other new competitors in this area...
