RSS Link Exchange
65The Opportunity: RSS Link Exchange
The Product: RSS Link Exchange Market
The RSS Link Exchange would simply work by creating an account at a central site and giving them the RSS feed for your site. The most recent item in the feed would be sucked up and placed in a combined feed from other sites in your category.
Publishers, bloggers, website owners would take a script that puts the RSS feed on their site. I think it should be a server side script, so the links are easily crawled, but it could be javascript as well. Everytime they displayed the feed on their site, they would earn a credit to have their feed displayed on another site.
The Business Model: Pay for Inclusion
People that wanted their feed to be displayed in the network, but didn't want to earn credits could pay a cpm to have their most recent item displayed in the feed. Since RSS feeds can have multiple items. Say 5 items in each impression, there would be plenty of inventory to sell. Even if each advertiser paid a 20 cent cpm. Four of the items could be paid, earning an eCPM of 80 cents.
*This is an area where I'd consider a personal investment.

That sounds like a job for Deeds.
I wonder if a traffic exchange script would work?
Take a look a this - I have developed a RSS and Blog Exchange for clipping articles from various feeds.
I took a look at your aggregator. It stil needs the exchange piece. But, I think an RSS exchange could be a good lifestyle business for someone that is savvy enough to promote it.
