We know . . . no matter how eager you are to charge ahead technologically, “change†itself is like that distant cousin you’ve never met who your mom makes you take to a movie; the one you’re pretty sure you’re going to be stuck with entertaining the rest of the night if not the rest of your life! We’ve been there. So, when we announced that we’ll be changing our business model a little bit we tried not to make it too scary. Here ‘tis: We now require that shows that enjoyed our free statistics that have in show advertising from a competing network or on their own, and have no advertising with RawVoice/Blubrry upgrade to our premium stats package.
Not too scary, we hope. To Hammer-time it a little more (you know, ‘break it down’):
And, to top it off, and this one’s a beta blocker for your racing hearts: Premium stats packages start at a whole $5 a month. That gets you unsurpassed insights into audience consumption; it lets you find out who is linking to you and gives you listener-base demographics and geographical data with worldwide mapping. You also benefit from custom reports and daily email summaries.
That little bit o’ dough will allow us to expand our awesome tools such as PowerPress and hosting for your shows on a world class CDN, and continue to provide you the opportunity to be discovered on Roku and Boxee. In fact, look for a major update to our stats system shortly! But even before that launches, you’ll get bunches of value when you update to  premium stats even if your show qualifies for the free stats.
So, yup, you might just find that this mysterious cousin is pretty awesome to hang out with and, like our premium stats package, is a dynamic, exciting and welcome addition to the family.
With Apple’s iPad now arriving in the hands of hundreds of thousands of media consumers, it is destined to be a highly popular media consumption device. We have added the iPad to the list of devices we track in our podcast media statistics service, ensuring that your media — no matter what platform it is seen or heard on — is being counted.
Our basic statistics service is free, so sign up now and add your show to Blubrry to make sure all your downloads are being tracked, including those from the iPad. Need a bit more than the basics? Check out our Podcast Statistics Premium.
This is only the beginning. Our team has been working hard on some awesome stuff, so keep your eyes peeled! We have a number of exciting announcements to make in the coming days.
Our Podcast Statistics service which is free to all members of our 3 communities, saw an increase in usage of 35% in March. We have had significant month to month increases but this is the largest jump in new users to date.
In conjunction with that utilization jump we continue to see a proportional increase in the number of tracked downloads in the 10’s of millions per month. Overall we continue to see healthy listener growth across the podcasting space.
Demand continues to grow for serialized new media content, with RawVoice having the only commercially available podcast / new media download and streaming statistic service, we know that companies / podcasters using our service are getting the most accurate reporting in the industry.
While other leading podcast companies have to rely on third parties to measure and validate their download data, we are proud that RawVoice has led the way in setting measurement standards for advertisers.
Get a free podcast statistic account by simply listing your podcast on Blubrry.com. If you are a corporate client contact ceo@rawvoice.com to find out how you can deploy your own branded Podcast / New Media Statistic service.
We are proud to announce the availability of the new Blubrry API. The Blubrry API extends our commitment to the community by allowing 3rd party applications and web sites to work with our services.
The new Blubrry API allows developers to build applications to interface with our media hosting and statistics services. Applications can delete, upload and list media files as well as retrieve media statistics information.
The Blubrry API is a hybrid of the RESTful implementation found at Twitter and WebDAV. More technical details may be found on the Blubrry Help site under the section titled Blubrry API.
The RawVoice team is very proud to announce that our Basic Podcast Statistics that where free for 90 days at a time, when community members completed an advertising survey are now 100% free with no pre-conditions.
Effective today all community members get access to the Basic Podcast Statistics service by just being a community member.
We realized that in these tough economic times, that while many podcasters want to monetize there podcast, a segment of shows are not ready for advertising but need the reliable accurate podcast statistics data to continue to build their shows. This was a large factor in us removing the requirement for podcasters to fill out the ad survey to get access to the stats service.
Podcasters that still want to monetize their shows need to update the ad surveys every 90 days so we have up to date information on their podcasts.
With a large majority of our community members using the Basic Podcast Statistics service it only made good business sense to do this. For those that want the Premium Podcast Statistics that service is available for a low monthly subscription fee of $5.00.
For those not familiar with our Basic Podcast Statistics here are some of the data sets we provide.
Consider this a small gift from RawVoice.

RawVoice CIO Angelo Mandato has been elected to lead the Association for Downloadable Media “Measurement” Committee. Here at RawVoice we have worked hard over the past 3 years to always have podcast statistics that advertisers and media producers can trust, and we could not be happier that Angelo is leading the “Measurement” committee.
Measurement Standards are very important and having nearly 3 years of experience working with various advertisers and podcast statistics reporting we feel that Angelo is well positioned to lead the committee in helping to solidify podcast measurement standards. [RawVoice]
There is a syntactical error in the Podpress code which prevents the “Enable Blubrry Statistics” option from working in Podpress. The code fix have been sent to Dan and will hopefully be included in the next version of Podpress. Instructions how to patch Podpress version 8.6 are available on the RawVoice support site linked below.

What’s that? Its the latest improvement to the Blubrry stats system. It means that you can move your media files to a new url and still track it as a single file. Read more and discuss here.
