Knowing How Many People RSS you  (techdrivenlife) One of the important things when you have a website is to know your number of visitors.  There are numerous sites that provides this.  I use statcounter, which you will see in the lower right hand of my blog.  However, in blogs, you also will allow people to subscribe to your RSS feed( Really Simple Syndication), which essentially allows them the convenience of pulling your posts to their own computer.  When that happens, it will not register as a page view to you.  So you may think you will only have 70 readers for that day based on the stat list, but you may have more -- it may be that 50 others are just getting your feed. I set that question to this site which answers technical questions, and Dave Taylor was kind enough to  point me to the answer which is the Feedburner website.  Essentially what this site will do is allow you to put your RSS feed to them, and put their link into the web site.  That being done, you can then go to their web site which also counts the number of times the users also downloads your feed. So, if you want to know how many people download your feed, check this site out.  And, if you are downloading mine, please do change it to this new RSS feed so that you can also help me track my number!      6:44:54 PM     comment []   trackback []
