For how many months of blogging, I never thought of giving or sharing information how to set up feedburner reader counter to your blog. Because I thought all bloggers have already done this to their blogs.
But for the other reason, I found a new blogger that commented my blog and ask how to put the feedburner counter on his blog. Thanks for your suggestions my friend and I found a new topic to discuss today. To all new bloggers and for you my friend who suggested this topic.
What is feedburner?
Feedburner is a technology program that controls xml, atom and rss feed quality control checker, as well as a professional distribution and tracking assistant, simplifying your web publisher work while extending your reach online.
What is RSS Feeds?
RSS Feeds are a way for websites large and small to distribute their content well beyond just visitors using browsers. Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old email.
Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into “widgets,” “gadgets,” mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere. Visit this link for more info.
How can I publish my own feeds?
If you have a website, blog, audio/video content, or even photos, you can offer a feed of your content as an option. And if you are using a popular blogging platform or publishing tool like TypePad, WordPress, or Blogger, you likely publish a feed automatically.
Even other non-blogging sites like social photo-sharing service Flickr offer feeds of content you produce that others can retrieve. There are also tools on the market that can help transform traditional web content into the right format for distribution.
FeedBurner’s services allow publishers who already have a feed to improve their understanding of and relationship with their audience. Once you have a working feed, run it through FeedBurner and realize a whole new set of benefits.
