I just don't like the idea of losing potential traffic to the site. There are all sorts of things occurring when that visitor gets to the site. You've got the visual, core content and promotional stuff that they don't get via the feed. Ya, I know, I can do quite a bit with that feed to give it some dynamics, some interactivity.

Well said.

It depends on your web site. Bottom line is the bottom line. How can this make you money? If the RSS feed is killing traffic, it can be a problem. You will find all kinds of thinking on this and there is no one answer. My thinking is, don't give it all away. Create a feed that shows something is available.

One idea is to offer a high-end widget that YOU control and you can sell ads on, using something like Adobe AIR.
