All kinds of business are made on the internet, and due to the value of RSS subscribers, it is no surprise that i see business like rssxplosion appear on the web.
Current RSS subscribers market price is arount $27 to $35 they say.
Rssxplosion promises to deliver you the amount of subscribers you pay for a promotional price of $1 each only… And delivered weekly or monthly.
It seems they have already made some big sells:
BloggingFingers: USD$6,000 / 204 RSS Subscribers
Ryan Shamus: USD$2,500 / 94 RSS Subscribers
Truth or not…..
The question is: Would you pay for RSS subscribers using this service?
My answer is no.
$1 each is not much. But, they are no real subscribers. You are paying for fake subscribers in my opinion. And it is somewhat easy to create a bunch of emails and subscribe them all to your site. With a little knowledge and with the right tools you can do this in almost no-time.
Now, if you were buying RSS subscribers directly, then it is another issue. You would be buying real rss subscribers, because you negotiate directly to one person for one subscription.
But instead of of buying, why not exchange them? If you want to exchange RSS subscriptions with me then feel free to subscribe my RSS by mail, and i will do the same for you! :p

I’am not paying for this kind of subscribers.
As you say “if you were buying RSS subscribers directly, then it is another issue”.

Yep I will not pay for sure. But for some who have money it is a good option to increase their readership. If you have some good number of subscribers from before then new visitors will consider you blog as good.
yep. Many visitors look at rss subscription first to take a general idea of the quality of the blog…
Wow… this is too easy money for them!
I would never pay.
I agree… there is no point paying for subscribers that may or may not be real… just build your subscriber count the old fashioned way: by posting quality content and getting people will just subscribe…
