		<description>Hi Marshall,

Thanks for including us in the post! To clarify, PostRank Analytics isn&#039;t technically &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; for blogs. It&#039;ll work just fine for any site with an RSS feed. A lot of those happen to be blogs. And the kinds of sites individual publishers set up these days often happen to be blogs -- the barrier to entry has gotten nicely low, and they&#039;re an effective communication tool for a lot of different info.

For example, I helped a gent yesterday get his account set up correctly for his site&#039;s main feed, which was the front page and featured articles rather than just the blog content.

There is the consideration that some sites may have a number of streams of content and feeds. Think CNN with different feeds for different departments/topics. At the moment we can&#039;t work that all into one account. Whether we&#039;ll develop something that targets those types of sites hasn&#039;t been fully decided yet. It&#039;ll depend if there are enough of them that want to track what we deliver.

In any case, I&#039;d love to have to give Analytics a whirl for a few weeks and see what you think. (And hey, it&#039;s free, so pretty low investment.) I find we often get the best feedback and most interesting perspectives from the skeptics. :)</description>

		<description>Marshall, curious, what led you to believe that PostRank Analytics is for blogs only? I&#039;d love to make sure we communicate this more clearly on our site: it&#039;s not limited to blogs at all. In fact, it can be used on any site that provides an RSS feed (which is how PostRank identifies the stories to gather metrics for). So, you could use the same package on any mainstream media news site, etc.</description>
