      <![CDATA[<p>Dear Barbara,</p>

<p>I am trying to get RSS tracking installed using <a href="http://www.adtrackz.com/?hop=stnwk.adtrackz" target="_blank">AdTrackZ</a>, which I see that you have <a href="http://www.preventlinkrot.com/" target="_blank">reviewed along with other similar ones</a>. I know you can put in a single pixel gif file in the feed, but how do I track it...something like AdTrackZ only tracks clicks, or does it? </p>

<p>Thanks,<br />
R.</p>

<p>Dear R., </p>

<p>You can use click tracking software to track pixels.   Instead of just a blank pixel, I actually use a photo in  my RSS  full- newsletter feed that tracks opens using <a href="http://www.prolinkz.com/?hop=stnwk.prolinkz" target="_blank">Pro Linkz</a>. </p>

<p>Look at <a href="http://www.surfnetkids.com/newsletter-rss.xml" target="_blank">http://www.surfnetkids.com/newsletter-rss.xml</a> </p>

<p>and you'll see a reference to:</p>

<p>img src="http://www.surfnetkids.com/cgi-local/pl/pl.cgi?rss" border="0" alt="Barbara J. Feldman" align="bottom" width="58" height="58"</p>

<p>This img file  (my head shot) is actually a call to the ProLinkz link tracker.</p>

<p>Hope this helps,</p>

<p>Barbara</p>
