Many of those with advertising use short feeds to encourage readers to visit the actual site, thus providing hits for their page and generating revenue. On the other hand, readers prefer full feeds so they can read all the blogs they subscribe to within their reader without clicking to many different blogs. When I switched BB101 to WordPress, I forgot to switch my feed to the shortened version. I received so many e-mails thanking me for the full feed that I realized I needed to stick with it for this site. My ad revenue did dwindle, but my main thrust with this site is to provide information. I figured if readers liked what they saw, they'd eventually come to the site to find even more information.

Good for me, but bad for the blogger, I would think, right?
