Maybe you should pay someone with the expertise to build or implement RSS ads for you? Seems funny that there is a moral opposition to having your potential vistors read your content for free (even though it is being shared by choice and is monetizable), but for some reason paying for programming help doesn't seem to be on your mind.
Hi Adam. Welcome. First, I had no idea this would be the topic du jour. I just don't enjoy using feed readers. They make the web generic and I prefer to read stories where the publisher intended them to be read. By the same thinking, I rent widescreen DVDs (so I can watch films the way the director envisioned them) rather than pan and scan versions of films.
And yes, I could always hire someone to build a custom RSS advertising system. When bootstrapping a startup though, you've got to pick your battles.
