Google Feedburner allows you to view statistics about your RSS subscribers. For web design companies, Feedburner makes it easy to manage multiple feeds in one place. All you need is a Google Account and an RSS feed.
Here are the instructions to burn your feed with Feedburner:
- Sign in to your Google Account at http://www.feedburner.google.com
- Copy and paste the url of your RSS feed into the text box under Burn a feed right this instant. Click the Next button.
- You will see a screen with 2 prefilled fields recommending your Feed Title and Feed Address. Modify as desired. For Feed Address we suggest using a name similar to your domain name. Click the Next button when finished.
- On the next screen you will see Congrats! Your Feedburner feed is now live. Click Next.
- Select all Additional Features. This will track clickthroughs; individual item views and resyndication; and reach (number of people who viewed or clicked the content in your feed). Click Next.
How To Setup Feedburner
- Don’t forget to link to your new Feedburner feed page throughout your website wherever you use the RSS icon. Your link should look like this http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourbusinessname.
