in Selling software and thinking outside the box on Shooting at Bubbles
I would be curious to see what advertisers would be interested in having their RSS feed hard coded and what the value in this would be. After all, just because you have an RSS feed to a site doesn't necessarily mean that they would be interested.
I imagine that the best prospects would be very closely aligned to the product he is selling. The key here would be what secondary market would jump and how deep their pockets will be.

in Linking Abuse Or Linking Awareness on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
I don't know Andy...I don't necessarily think that they should link unless they are using a particular post that is relevant to the story.
After all, if I was doing an interview for an article about pets, would it be necessary for them to link to my site on affiliate marketing? I am not taking their side but can understand why they didn't bother with a link. If they had quoted you, I would think that that would definitely warrant a link.
Also, did you give them a place to possibly link to? Perhaps it would have been much easier for them to have placed, "Andy Beard, owner of..." kind of link to reference your site.
I imagine that the print media look at things alot different than most of us who live and breathe the internet. For instance, if I was going to be interviewed for a story for my local paper, the chances of them mentioning anything at all other than my name (what I do for a living, where I work, ect.) is pretty much slim to say the least.

Andy Beard
Leo it is complicated, and I suppose if it was a 10 minute phone call I might not have worried about it at all.
You might like this article on the subject of press phone calls
It wasn't an email conversation, so it was impossible to structure a response in such a way, though I did provide a number of supporting documents after the phone call.
I haven't actually seen a printed copy, I will get to see one when I get to the UK tomorrow, but the UK press often includes URLs in the print edition as well, albeit using tinyURL.
If I was looking to build up my "credentials" as a speaker, I suppose there is some rudimentary value in gaining press quotations. As I mentioned, the only real value to me is to eventually be "notable" enough for Wikipedia... big deal.

When someone is a professional, their time is money, and the biggest value in press attention at least until they become a big name is the potential for traffic and links.
I had 2 search visitors in the last 22 hours who used the term "Andy Beard" - that is actually less than normal - a typical day is 4 or 5

First time I come across this post. I think they should CERTAINLY have linked to Andy. He was a major source of information for the article. He deserves the credit and, thus, the link.
