This is a question without prejudice, so please answer the same way.

Those of you with pages on Podshow+, do you feel that you're picking up listeners who have found you because they use that site? Do you get 'digs' and stuff?

I don't hear people (outside of podcast producers) talking about it, the same way that myspace, youtube, etc, gets coverage and mentioned in coversation.

Just wondered if the people who are using it are seeing much benefit.

Those of you with pages on Podshow+,
Would I know if I had a page on Podshow+? Is that something I would have had to create?

I see that somehow Podshow has picked up my feedburner feed into their directory without me having submitted it. Is that what you're talking about?

I haven't noticed them in my referrer log.

Hey,

I've done a few experiments where I post a show on my PodShow+ account a few days before releasing my new show to feedburner, which points to my main rss feed. I do this monthly to see how many are subscribing via my PS+ feed vs. my main website where Feedburner feed advertised.

I do see growth on the PS+ feed, so this tells me I'm getting an audience from my PS+ page.

My logs also show a significant amount of traffic that comes from my PodShow+ page, which WildGeek is something you can create yourself when you signup free at PodShow+.

I have had some folks tell me they found me via PodShow+ page or from a dig on another show. I've never asked my audience to tell me though...

Good topic..

Wilde - The PodShow search engine will pick up your feed in one of three circumstances:
1 - If you have a PodShow page
2 - If you are listed in Podcast Alley
3 - If a listener in PodShow manually adds your feed to their playlist/channel

If you don't have hosting on PodShow+, but your show is listed in the PodShow directory, then an 'Unofficial' page is dynamically created for your show, based soley on information contained in your feed. This UnOfficial page also contains prominent links for people to listen to your show, as well as visit your webpage. Please note, these two links will send the user to your webpage for the media (in otherwords, we don't cache your stuff).

Unfortunately, One Minute How-To is showing with the wrong name, the website link is incorrect, and it is not displaying the past 20 shows I've done (http://tinyurl.com/u3528). Is there any way to correct this? I didn't see a link for this anywhere.

Are you saying that PodShow is showing the wrong information for your site/show? I wasn't clear by your post. If something is wrong on the PodShow side, let me know either by PM or you can always send an email (with the details) to podcastersupport "AT" podshow.com

Hey George, he gave you the email, but he just substituted the "@" with "AT" so as to defeat spam-bots.
