Make your feedburner feed search engine friendly

I am still seeing people with the default feedburner feed when they post comments on blogs with commentluv. They should be setting it up for them to show their own URL instead of feedburner. It is a very simple step to change the way you display your feed.

When I make a new feed for my blogs I do this. You want to go into your feed -> Analyze -> Configure Stats -> then uncheck Item link clicks. You don’t want Feddburner to track clicks and views on your feed URLs.

    Greg,

    I don’t think I understand what you mean. Give me a hand because I’m very interested in the options in FeedBurner. For example, when do you see the feedburner feed in someone’s comments. Do that happen with mine? I can’t recall seeing that. And why don’t I want FeedBurner to track clicks for me? I’m not saying that I do, I just don’t understand why I wouldn’t. Thanks for your patience with me.

    I personally would like to track my rss feed clicks so this idea won’t work for me. Besides what makes the default feedburner links not seo friendly?

    @Ileane: Check out the link in my commentluv. It’s coded unlike yours. that’s what Greg is referring to. Feedburner will be unable to track clicks on your feedburner links if they aren’t coded via feedburner like mine is.

    Ok, I got it now. I never really pay attention to click stats in feedburner. I just look at my subscriber counts. I get my stats from WordPress or Google Analytics.

    This is a big help because I saw how the feedburner redirects came up in the address bar on your link. In my case it went directly to my site.

    It would be great to have all of the feedburner tips in one place, but I can’t seem to find a site like that. Are you aware of any?

    Thanks again!

    @Ileane: Feedburner articles are scattered all over the net and I really don’t know of one place where you can get them all.

    You can try googling feedburner hacks/tricks and see what comes up. Cheers ;)

    Was looking for an explanation of this issue. Found you thanks to the power of Google (uncheck item links feedburner). My head is spinning but I think I understand this now. Thank you.
