How Feedburner Getting Better Will Help Us All
I’m a big fan of Feedburner, especially since I started using it back in November. According to this article at Mashable, they’re upgrading, and it looks to be a big upgrade.
According to the news, Feedburner is making itself more scalable by writing its code according to Google’s standards and integrating with the search giant. That means a few things for bloggers and one big thing for Feedburner. For Feedburner, it likely means increased profitability. For bloggers it means better services. Here’s how Feedburner can increase your ability to publish useful information for your readers:
- Better integration with Google Reader and Blogger.com
- Increased opportunities for income with Google AdSense
- URL-configurable leads (whatever that means)
- Better e-mail integration (which I’m looking forward to)
- And I’m guessing it will also lead to improved metrics
Feedburner is already good, but moving to Google standards means getting better and that’s going to increase every blogger’s ability to be a better publisher. It’s something that I’m really looking forward to.

Hi - I wonder if you can help me.
I’m not a newby’ but I just can’t get my head around this Feedburner thing (which I know I should have).
I’ve just signed up another blog i administer (http://homeimprovementquotes.blogspot.com just to see if it does increase traffic etc but I have two questions….
1) DO i have to re-visit all the present links where our RSS feed is and amend to the feedburner url?
2) DO I still continue to update my own .xml file and upload to the server when ever I want to update our RSS feed - it doesnt justcover blog entries but anything else we amend on our other websites etc.
Also, now I’ve created this blog over to Feedburner and created the chicklet, I can’t seem to grab it and add it to explorer 7’s rss feed reader???? So now i’m really worried I’ve messed the whole thing up terribly.
Any help or reassurance would be welcome as I’m pulling my hair out here and starting to wonder just how to undo everything I’ve spent the morning doing.
Thanks in advance - Jonathan.

1) Jonathan, Feedburner will roll all of your RSS feed sources into one metric. If I understand correctly what you are asking, the answer is no.
2) It depends. I don’t know how you created your xml file so unless I know more information, I can’t answer that question.
