Feed M8 – Your Site Mobile, Distributed and with Rev. Share [FM8810-28]

Was introduced to FeedM8 through Mobile Marketing Magazine – I’m intrigued. Through FeedM8, you can “mobilize and monetize” your feed or blog. FeedM8 will make the conversion for you so that your content comes out looking pretty good on a mobile browser and screen. In addition, they will share revenue with you from the ads that they place on your mobile site. Here’s an example of what this site looks like after being distributed through FeedM8 (colors and presentation are also customizable – this is the default version):

 

Once you’ve set up your feed and created your login/account, you can add more feeds and check analytics. Naturally, before you begin “earning money” you’ll have to verify that it is actually your feed that you’re laying claim to. You do that by inserting a code into your next blog post. Once it’s verified by FeedM8 you can remove it….then just select how you want to get paid and voila! (On our mobile version of Overroll the ad at the top of the page is for a mobile version of Wikipedia on your phone….not a bad partner, I’d say. At least it’s not for local dating or concert tickets.)

 

From Mobile Marketing Magazine we see that many people have signed up including Mashable, ESPN, Engadget, GigaOM and on… I’d have to say that it’s a pretty nifty little way to quickly get up and mobile without worrying about too much, and quick comparison on your mobile browser of www.overroll.com versus www.FeedM8.com/overroll reveals that the latter is much easier on the eye (at least on my LG CU5000 – no iPhone here just yet).

 

We’ll keep you posted on revenue earnings. After all, it will take at least a few business days for them to mail me my check…

    Since most blogs already downgrade fairly painlessly to even the most craptastic mobile browser formats, I guess the point of this service is that if you already have a well-traveled blog, this service will allow you to collect ad revenue in the mobile format.

    Unless I’m missing something painfully obvious, it sounds an awful lot like a scam for these guys to skim some ad cash off the top of others’ hard work. But then I’m a cynical bastard.
