I have stopped using FeedBurner for my feeds. I have been debating this descision since it was announced that Google was buying up FeedBurner.
I could say that I will miss the tracking information but, to be honest, FeedBurner never worked that well for me. It told me how many subscribers I have but all of the other information on click-through on the feed never materialized.
Some of you may have to adjust your RSS feed reader for this change others will not.
What are you switching to? Any specific reason you’re leaving the burner?
I’m not switching to anything and I’m leaving because it is now owned by Google. One thing I can not stand (and may lead me to dropping MyBlogLog is the consolidation of web app companies.
As soon as I started using Feedburner I enabled MyBrand, so my feed is:
http://feeds.blogsformoney.com/blogsformoney
The domain is just a CNAME to feeds.feedburner.com but it means if I ever move away, I don’t have to change the url. I’d suggest anyone else do the same (even the free blogging services support hosting domains for your blog – so you shouldn’t be using .blogspot.com for the same reason) :-)
I use Analytics mainly for stats, but I have the feedburner ones enabled because some of the stuff is nice (like clicked outgoing links!)
I always saw all zeros in those areas of feedburner. Even if I clicked through on my RSS reader it never showed up.
I’ve never tried FeedBurner’s tracking because the URL rewriting isn’t worth it. You can still use FeedBurner and turn all that shit off. ;) Works fine for me… I think. :)
