Google has upgraded its Feedburner analytics product and, in the process, also added real-time stats for individual feed items. But it's still a very limited product and, in a couple areas, actually seems to be a downgrade from the existing Feedburner stats. The new interface brings Feedburner's "look and feel" much closer to what Google Analytics users are already familiar with. The new dashboard shows a statistical summary of feeds in your account, as well as the most recent status messages about your feeds' accessibility. In its announcement, Google focuses on the new, real-time c [...]

Integrating Feedburner & Google Analytics

Jun 22, 2010 at 4:02pm ET by Daniel Waisberg

In mid-November, Google Analytics and Feedburner announced a very interesting integration. While this is excellent news for Google Analytics and Feedburner users, it must be dealt properly when it comes to SEO, especially on websites that are heavily based on RSS feeds. Google Analytics users rejoice! This integration is very interesting in that it allows a much deeper understanding of the interaction of users coming from feeds and the profitability of this segment on websites. So, which level of granularity can be achieved through this integration? Which parameters get added? As can [...]

FeedBurner Goes 301 All The Way

Sep 30, 2009 at 9:46am ET by Barry Schwartz

The Google AdSense for Feeds (aka FeedBurner) blog announced that all of their links will be 301 redirected, as opposed to some that are 301 redirected. In summary, when you use FeedBurner to create and host your RSS feed, FeedBurner creates special links that are used to send the reader to your web site. Some users selected to use a 302 redirected link, as opposed to a 301 redirected link, to obtain better tracking. Google has made the decision to remove the 302 redirect option and make them all 301s. Why? The main reason is Google wants these URLs to become "more compatible with searc [...]

Google (Finally) Addresses FeedBurner Problems

Jan 26, 2009 at 5:08pm ET by Matt McGee

After weeks of reports that FeedBurner wasn't working, Google finally talked about the situation today on the AdSense for Feeds blog. The problem surrounds the transfer of FeedBurner accounts to a new platform (and a new URL). Many FeedBurner users saw their feeds go dead when switching to the new platform; some received 502 or 503 server error codes. Google doesn't seem to specifically explain the problems, but says the problems are associated with the migration of so many publishers to the new platform. "Although we came across many of these issues during our testing phase, in reality [...]

FeedBurner Numbers Spike — Blame FeedBlitz!

Jan 18, 2008 at 7:16am ET by Danny Sullivan

Nice -- I picked up 5,000 new feed subscribers today, while Barry Schwartz saw Search Engine Roundtable grow 35,000. Overnight! Obviously, the FeedBurner numbers we and others get have gone wonky. To blame? FeedBlitz seems to be putting out bad stats. Consider the comparison above. The left side shows reported subscribers from various feed reading services taking the Search Engine Land feed as of Wednesday, January 16. The right side shows Thursday, January 17. See the box highlighted in red? Out of the blue, FeedBlitz appears, telling me that I have 5,177 readers. Here's what Barry saw: [...]
