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

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 [...]

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:

How Feedburner Adds Up Subscriber Numbers
Nov 9, 2007 at 9:02am ET by Vanessa Fox
Last Saturday, there was a gasp of collective horror in the blogosphere as FeedBurner subscriber stats plunged for many sites. Today, it's happened again. Don't panic! Your subscribers are probably all still there, with Google Reader to blame for the missing numbers. Below, our comprehensive guide to how FeedBurner compiles subscriber stats explains all, today's glitch, and why those occasional plunges happen.
Last weekend's drop of Feedburner subscriber numbers by as much as half was a temporary glitch. Google Reader didn't report figures, and all was back to normal the next day. Today's dro [...]
