There are other similar services like FeedBurner, but I recommend FeedBurner as it’s the only feed customizing service I use. What is FeedBurner? In short, it’s a mean to publish your online (blog) contents, so that your readers can subscribe to your feed and read your site updates via the RSS / feed reader.
No doubt that a lot of blogging platform like Blogspot, WordPress, etc has its own built-in feed feature. But why should we even border to “burn” our feed? Because you can customize how your feed content be presented to your subscribers and you can get more benefits like getting your feed stats.
I hereby pinpoint some great features you can get once you add your feed to FeedBurner:
- Easy-to-remember feed URL
- Get number of subscribers
- Get live hits statistic (readers geographical location)
- Know your readers preference via popular item (blog post) listing
- Show feed count widget on blog
