So I stumbled upon Pheedo a short time ago because I saw a video on YouTube about it. Because Feedburner is no longer the coolest kid on the playground anymore. So I signed up for Pheedo in the hopes that I could upgrade my feeds with little hassle.
Well, I am just not awesome enough for Pheedo goodness. They do not want to hook up a blog of SDA’s non-stature. Its not too much of a shock, what surprises me is the straightforward, yet stock answer email I received.

Thank you for your interest in Pheedo. We appreciate the time and energy you have put into researching RSS advertising and analytics. Unfortunately, at this time we are not accepting new publishers of your content type and subscriber level into our ad network.
Sincerely,
Pheedo, Inc. ”
One day one of the blogs I use will be cool enough to have Pheedo. By that time, there will be something else out thats better and also will reject them

Hi Amber,
It is not that you are not cool enough. It’s the fact that we want to provide superior service to all our publishers. We have to strike a balance between opening the service up to everyone and delivering quality service and revenues. With any company, doing both is very tough. Think about your cable or phone company. How long do you stay on hold when calling customer service? That is an example of a situation where the phone company made a business choice to accept every customer that comes their way. The trade off is service.
In our business, we look at the number of advertising dollars coming our way to determine how many new publishers can join.
We don’t like saying no to potential customers however, we have to. We would hate for your post to turn into commentary about Pheedo’s lack of service and revenue. We hope you understand.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have more questions.
Best regards,
Bill Flitter
