It's inevitable. RSS gets counted as part of 'readership.' Personally, I prefer to think brand first. I don't care if only 100 readers turn up (it's actually a lot more) at my place becasue those that do are therer for a reason. And I have a pretty good idea who they are. Virtually every post draws at least one comment these days so that's attention (and brand) building. To cap it, the numbers just keep rising but then i'm working in an industry that's way behind the curve so there's plenty to go at. Mark - we're pretty much at the point where we can get ads in RSS.

The "occasionally" part just depends on the particular circumstances. Mark, I think a nice compromise is to let sites you admire **occasionally** republish something you write that fits their niche.
