Feedster is feed infrastructure, rebuilt on the domain the machines already poll. It began in 2003 as one of the first feed search engines. The company closed in 2007. The polling never stopped — feed readers, ping services, and crawlers still make 41–72K requests a day to this domain. Pomegranium owns it, and is building the business that answers them.

Measured November 1, 2026, in the owner's Ahrefs and Cloudflare accounts. Human visits here are negligible and unmeasured — we say so on the page where we sell placements: what Feedster has is authority and machine flow, not an audience.
Three lanes, stated at their actual state. Nothing below is described as further along than it is.
Fetch, parse, normalize, and deliver feeds as a service. The plumbing by itself is a commodity — the market pays a cent or less per feed per month — so the product is the layer above it: intelligence read across the flow, the way Feedly's intelligence products sell at $1,600–$3,200 a month. The feed service is the plumbing underneath. The summary of the river is the product.
Every lane prices off one question: who exactly is polling? Feed fetchers, search crawlers, AI crawlers, and everything else, counted properly. That measurement is running now — the first read is on this page, below. Telemetry about this domain is our own input; we do not sell it, because there is no honest market for it — the priced flow in that business runs the other way.
Metered access for AI crawlers exists as a published floor ($0.001 per successful retrieval) and a closed beta with no proven buyer. We count this lane at zero today. If the market shows up, the domain is positioned. If it doesn't, nothing in the plan depended on it.
While the lanes build, the domain's authority works. A placement is a followed link, placed in content on this domain, held for twelve months. It is bought by sites that want a reference from a DR 65 property with 2.9K referring domains — authority transfer, stated as exactly that.
| Placement | Terms | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Inner page | 12 months, prepaid, followed, in content | $300 / year |
| Inner pages ×3 | Same terms, staggered | $285 each |
| Inner pages ×5 | Same terms, staggered | $270 each |
| Homepage | Same terms · capped at 3 placements | $500 / year |
The whole program is footprint-disciplined: about ten placements across the domain's pages, staggered over weeks, in screened niches only. Renewal is at the same rate. If a placed page goes down inside the term, the placement is repaired, replaced, or refunded pro-rata.

What a placement does not buy: traffic.
Ahrefs measures zero organic search traffic to this domain, and human visits are negligible — unmeasured, and not part of this offer. Anyone who tells you a link here will send you visitors is selling you a story. What is real is the authority profile above, and that is the whole of the offer.
Is this a link farm?
No. A link farm sells volume; this program sells about ten placements a year, screened, staggered, and renewed at a stated rate. The domain's authority is the asset the whole venture is built on — spending it down for link volume would be eating the seed.
What happens at month twelve?
You renew at the same rate, or the placement comes down. No auto-renewal, no hostage renewal pricing.
A first read of the request stream — the top user agents over one day, 63,258 requests sampled of the day's 1.74 million. It is a first read, not a census, and it is labeled that way because the full segmentation is the work now running.
| Who | What they are | Requests |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress (XML-RPC) | Pingbacks from the blog ecosystem — sites still notifying Feedster of new posts | ≈6,204 |
| DotBot | Moz's crawler, mapping the link graph | 4,612 |
| BulkPing | A ping service — the feed era's notification machinery, still running | 2,698 |
| MJ12bot | Majestic's crawler | ≈1,841 |
| ElevenLabs crawler | An AI company's crawler, in the top ten of the day | 1,684 |
| UniversalFeedParser | A feed parser, polling feeds the way it has for fifteen years | 467 |
The RSS era's machinery never stopped calling. Until now it got a page that answered none of it. That is the gap this venture exists to close.
2003. Feedster launches in San Francisco as an RSS feed search engine — one of the first, indexing the early blogosphere in near real time. It raises roughly $6.45 million from Selby Venture Partners, Omidyar Network, Mitsui, Felicis, and angels.
2007. The company closes. The domain remains, and the internet's address books never update — the polling continues, unattended, for nineteen years.
2020–22. A guest-post and link desk operates on the domain. In 2022 the domain itself is negotiated — offers reach $100K; the owner asks $230–250K; no sale. The domain stays.
2026. Pomegranium resurrects Feedster as a venture: the placement program first, the feed business behind it. This page replaced a one-page placeholder the owner had set years earlier.
Feedster is one venture in a constellation the holdco builds the same way — each company born linked into the estate. The others: Pomegranium, the holdco itself · Brandscaped, the branding and design company · Holisticly Well, concierge medicine · ContentHow.
The feed business: info@feedster.com · Placements run through the form above.
