RSS Feed Changes
Posted by Stropp on January 18, 2009I’ve used Feedburner to manage my RSS feed for a couple of years now. However, a couple of years ago Feedburner were bought out by Google and effectively joined the Google family of products. And… pretty much nothing happened. There were no changes to make, and everything operated as normal.
Nothing stays the same though, and Google have finally changed things up a bit and have begun migrating Feedburner and it’s accounts into a new system. My account was migrated yesterday, and so far everything seems hunky dory, except that my number of subscribers dropped a bit. At least as far as I could tell.
I’d like to ask you all a favor. If you notice anything askew with the feed, could you please comment below, or send a message through the contact form.

OK have migrated my account too – fingers crossed!

My feeds seem to have dropped too. I did have a scare initially when the first reading said 40 down from 270ish. It’s stabilised at 216 now.
I imagine the reason is that Google are using a different algorithm for tracking feeds. I also use Google’s Analytics and I’ve found that reads much lower than my AwStats which originate directly from the server logs. Maybe it’s a Google thing to underestimate their stats.
