Monitoring RSS Feeds

Measuring and tracking RSS while a fairly simple concept, is really anything but. Unlike websites, RSS have the added caveat of potential syndication, making accurate tracking a challenge to anyone but the extremely tech savvy.

It is not unrealistic for marketers to want to know how many subscribers they have, which items in their feeds attract the most interest, or how many click-throughs are generated as a result of an RSS feed.

 There are a number of 3rd party providers who focus on tracking the consumption of RSS feeds. Some solutions are rudimentary but likely sufficient for a small business testing the waters with RSS. Other RSS tracking solutions are more complex and while they can come close to being accurate, with syndication there is no solution that tracks with 100% accuracy.

Techniques Used to track RSS Consumption
Small businesses can view web logs to provide information on how many times a specific file (RSS feed) is requested. The logs and information is rudimentary but will give a basic sense of a feeds success. Many 3rd party tracking options have additional tracking information available.

Hosting
The most common method to track the number of feed accesses or individuals accessing a feed is to use a 3rd party feed host. Companies like FeedBurner essentially track feeds based on accesses. The downside to using a 3rd party like Feedburner, is that the url is a FeedBurner url and any PageRank or popularity associated with the url will benefit the feed host rather than the feed creator. Additionally, no distinction is made between unique views or syndicate feeds.

FeedBurner provides a free no frills service to host RSS feeds and they have been proactive in circumventing user concerns. Recently implementing a service that eases users concerns about migrating from FeedBurner. There is a 3 step process for users interested in migrating from FeedBurner's free service, implementing a permanent redirect, and url forwarding.

Some publishers, who were concerned about lock-in or wanted to retain control of the domain and feed urls often resist a hosting service. The new program FeedBurner Partner Pro is not free, but allows for users to point to their own domain, retaining complete control of their feeds without sacrificing statistical tracking.
The downside to using a service like FeedBurner is that some filtering applications used on corporate proxy servers block feeds residing on FeedBurner or other free hosts.

Redirects
Companies like SyndicateIQ have more complex tracking solutions that generate unique urls for each subscriber. The tracking benefits to such a customized solution is obvious. Individual user habits can be monitored and any users abusing their access and inappropriately syndicating a feeds content can have their feed turned off. The downside of course is that the success of RSS is in a large part due to the anonymity. Users don't want their personal habits tracked.

Considering the venture capital interest in these 3rd party hosting services. It is important to note that their value is in the data that they collect. As with any 3rd party service, it goes without saying that publishers should read the privacy policy carefully, be aware of who owns the rights to the collected information, and how that information might be used. It goes without saying that the value in many of the free services currently available lies in their aggregate data.

Uniquely Named Transparent Images
Uniquely named transparent 1x1 graphics can be added to the description field of an RSS feed. Users can use standard web logs to see the number of times the image is viewed and determine the number of times the feed was accessed.

Reverse Domain Name Hijacking Now !

Reverse domain name hijacking is one of the serious problems in the world of domain name today. Many people were engaged in such silly activity and so create a great bang in the domain name industry.

Accordingly, the reverse domain name hijacking is such a ploy that is applied by a complainant in bad faith to attempt to deprive a registered domain name owner. In fact, there is a certain rule for reverse domain name hijacking and it was under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy or UDRP rule 1. Aside from that, there is also a certain rule under the same policy that the panels finding a reverse domain name hijacking are not just sanctioned to deny the objection, but they are really directed to positively locate the presence of bad faith.

Speaking of the bad faith as the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy holds, it is considered that in the true statement of the rules for reverse domain name hijacking, there is really no vivid view of what a bad faith means and what makes for a bad faith UDRP objection as well as the facts that justifies a finding of reverse domain name hijacking. As such, it is then necessary to look at some clear illustrations about this thing.

Essentially, according to a current rulings of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, the reverse domain name hijacking basically surface when an objection is taken regardless of the knowledge that the domain name owner has an authority or justifiable willingness in the domain name or the case in which the domain name was registered in good faith, with or without the frustrating situation of nuisance or proven bad intent by the plaintiff who is in search of owning the domain name.
For further interest, the reverse domain name hijacking is in fact mentioned in the ruling for the Goldline International, Inc. v. Gold Line with the statement as "To prevail such a claim (of reverse domain name hijacking), Respondent must show that Complainant knew of Respondent's unassailable right or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name or the clear lack of bad faith registration and use, and nevertheless brought the Complaint in bad faith".

Another important distinction of the reverse domain name hijacking was the Goldline panel's adoption of a rule that was set down in Smart design LLC v. Hughes, in which the panels also found out that there is a reverse domain name hijacking not because of an established bad intent, but for the fact that the allegations of the respondent's bad faith were established in a mode that the panel concluded as unsatisfactory to the plaintiff.

Out of those two cases about the reverse domain name hijacking, there are still others and others that continue to create a booming impact to the world of domain name and to the lives of the domain name holders. So if you think that the rules for reverse domain name hijacking leaves a lot of room for interpretation, well, you are right, but it is just necessary to know that it does not end there. Such is how the reverse domain name hijacking bangs the domain name disputes.

Bagaimana Proxy Server (Hosting) Melindungi Privasi Anda

Sebuah server proxy melindungi privasi Anda dengan menjadi ‘perantara’ antara Anda dan sebuah server sebenarnya. Ketika Anda mengunjungi sebuah website, proxy akan memeriksa permintaan Anda untuk menentukan apakah mengijinkan permintaan Anda dengan sendirinya. Jika tidak dapat memenuhi permintaan Anda, proxy server akan mengirimkan permintaan ke server sebenarnya. Jadi, tidak langsung memberikan Anda akses ke server sesungguhnya.

Karena server yang sebenarnya tidak dapat langsung mengakses informasi (misalnya jenis browser, lokasi, alamat IP, penyedia layanan internet), informasi ini dapat dicegah agar tidak ditemukan oleh server sebenarnya.
Proxy server digunakan untuk menghindari pencurian informasi dari pihak lain melalui jaringan internet. Ini disebut anonymous proxy server. Saat ini, banyak penyedia proxy server sudah tersedia di Internet. Anda dapat menemukan dan banyak layanan gratis.
Dengan proxy server, bukan hanya alamat IP anda yang dilindungi. Juga Membuat komputer Anda dan diri Anda lebih aman dengan penggunaan proxy server.
Sebagai contoh, menghubungkan server proxy dapat menyediakan Anda dan server sebenarnya dengan tingkat “pemisahan” yang lebih tinggi. Hal ini membuat lebih sulit bagi calon penyerang untuk melacak Anda. Juga, jika Anda menyimpan data yang tepat di server, anda bisa memiliki perlindungan tingkat lanjutan.
Setelah data diterima dan sebelum diteruskan, proxy server dapat secara efektif menyandikan (Memberikan Kode) data. Namun demikian, proxy server yang menerima data tidak terenkripsi akan membuat data yang terbuka dapat di serang. Biasanya, proxy server gratis tidak menyandikan data. Anda mungkin harus membayar sejumlah biaya untuk memanfaatkan layanan semacam ini dan ini mungkin sangat berharga untuk Anda.
Jika Anda ingin menggunakan server proxy gratis, pastikan bahwa yang akan Anda gunakan adalah proxy server yang terkenal dengan kualitas layanan baik (lebih baik dengan kebijakan privasi posted).
Hal ini sangat penting untuk diingat bahwa proxy server tidak dapat menjaga anda dari seseorang yang dapat mengakses komputer yang anda gunakan (misalnya orang-orang yang ada di sekitar Anda). Dalam kasus ini, Anda harus memastikan bahwa Anda mengambil langkah yang diperlukan untuk menjaga data Anda dengan membersihkan dan menghapus cache, riwayat pencarian, dan cookie dari toolbar dan browser Anda.
