BMG Innovates! Offering Tiered CD
Pricing 07/08/2004 06:49 PM
Adam submits this story that somehow slipped by without much notice earlier this week about how BMG is going to test a tiered CD model in Germany this summer. In realizing that part of the reason people download is because they believe CDs cost too much, they're trying to break down the value of the CD into different components. Thus, you can buy a "no frills" version of the CD (which will just look like a burned copy, with the name of the musician and the title printed on the CD) for 10 euros. A mid-level CD of the same music that will include a cover and an insert with lyrics will run 13 euros, and the "luxury" version of the CD, complete with additional material and video clips on the CD will run 18 euros. Even BMG admits they have no clue whether or not the plan will work, but they can't come up with a good reason not to at least try it. The prices still seem a bit high, but it's the first sign I've seen that the industry realizes that they have more to sell than just the music itself -- and that, alone, is a very very small step in the right direction.

Qwest Launches Tiered Services, Naked
DSL 02/17/2004 01:15 PM
An anonymous Qwest employee wrote in to mention that the company is announcing plans to offer "naked DSL" - that is, DSL without requiring local phone service. This is a big deal. We've been complain ing about DSL companies requiring that you have local phone service with them to get DSL. Obviously, the advantages to them are that they get more out of you - but as an increasingly tech savvy population is ditching landlines for VoIP or cellular phones, this policy was only pushing people to go to cable instead. Qwest, who has not had the greatest reputation for service over the past few years, appears to be trying to turn this around and go after the market of folks who don't want to be tied down to a landline phone number they won't want or use. They're also announcing a new tiered offering including the incredibly cheap $15/month plan - that caps bandwidth at 256k. Not that fast, but for those who just want an always on connection, it's a steal. This is clearly going directly after the dialup user who hasn't decided to upgrade yet, but now has almost no excuse not to.

Taking A Tiered Approach To Fee-Based
Content Online 10/30/2003 11:46 PM
Mark Glaser's latest piece at OJR looks at the plans to charge for the online content at canada.com, with a focus on how the pay system will work on tiers. The basic level of news access will be free, but columnists and opinion pieces get shifted up to tier 2 - which requires a subscription to a CanWest newspaper. Tier 3 offers a PDF version of the newspaper, mainly targeted at out of towners who want to get the paper. Tier 4 is their "holy grail" - where they'll add in extra multimedia content. It'll be an interesting experiment, but so far, most (but certainly not all) attempts at charging for online newspaper content has failed miserably. The problem is that you're competing against tons of free content that is often considered as good, if not better. You have to really offer something different, that can't be found elsewhere, and which people place a value on. The Wall Street Journal has been able to do that. Most news organizations, though, can't get that sort of buy-in. There are also pretty big risks in taking this route. Page views drop precipitously - so if you don't get back the lost ad revenue in subscription fees, you're actually worse off. You also have to realize that there are additional costs associated with billing, customer support, and maintaining subscriptions (partly offset by lower bandwidth fees). There's also the larger question of blocking your content off from the world. What makes content increasingly valuable these days is the links between it and other content. That is, after all, what makes the web what it is. Blocking up your content behind a paid wall like that cuts you out of that process, for the most part. Depending on what they're trying to do, some sites may be able to get away with that, but the risks are pretty big. It makes it much more difficult for new people (customers) to discover you and realize you might be relevant to their lives. It also makes your overall content less valuable because there isn't any of the additional valuable discussions that often go on around good content.

Google approved PageRank stripping

Google approved PageRank stripping 05/11/2004 02:12 AM

Blogger are now using the redirect-without-PageRank technique to protect their hosted blogs against comment spam (also used by Moveable Type). At the risk of sounding incredibly pleased with myself (which I am), that was my idea! Sweet.

Here's the real kicker: the URL redirector they are using is hosted on Google's primary domain. This is great news for people like myself who are running their own redirector, as the problem with having a redirect on your site is that it can be abused to make it look like people are visiting a specific site from a link on your domain: or even worse, to trick people in to visiting an unpleasant link (see Slashdot comments, where links are displayed along side the domain on which the "real" site is hosted). Now I can point my own PageRank stripper at http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=URL and let Google handle the redirects for me. Lovely.

Peter van Dijck recently joined the ranks of victims of wiki spam. Let's start rolling this technique out on Wikis as well. The trade-off in lost PageRank for linked sites is more than worth it.
