You are definitely not the only “un-techie” type out there. Thanks for this plug-in and all the info that goes along with it.

Darren,
Just saw your post about FeedBurner (searching info about it) and I guess maybe its better to switch soon rather than later. Thanks for sharing this info.

That’s what I love about WordPress.. you can configure everything and often you don’t even need to mess around with the code.

I installed it and it works just fine.

it’s an interesting question Vlad.

I’ll tackle it in two parts:

1. I think placing an RSS button high on your page makes sense. More people will see it and hopefully subscribe.

2. With regards to using the counter button – On some of my blogs with lower reader numbers I don’t use the counter rss button because I guess I’m not wanting to advertise the fact that the sites are not yet popular. There’s nothing to be ashamed of with a low reader count – but I guess it might put some people off a little. It’s personal choice really on that front.

Hey there Darren, this is my first comment on problogger …I’ve got a question…for the moment I only have 4 subscribers to my feed through feedburner….my question is, do you think that placing the feedburner button (that counts only 4 readers) in a higher place on my blog would be good. I mean I know it will make it easier for people to subscribe, but the fact that I only have 4 readers, won’t that make a bed reputation for my blog and chase people away? What do you think? Thanks

Yeah, that’s a really cool tool. Feedburner is awesome. When I moved my blog from blogger to Dreamhost, I noticed that my subscriber numbers were lower than before. I also noticed that Feedburner wasn’t counting my Bloglines subscribers. Feedburner was reporting something like 123 subscribers and my two bloglines accounts were around 230 subscribers. It took me a long time, but someone finally told me about the WordPress plugin. After I hooked it up, my Feedburner subscribers jumped to over 400 and have been growing ever since (I’m up to around 720 although the number changes frequently).

[...] I also see wild fluctuations with other sites that use the Feedburner button (the one to the right of my profile picture). Most prominently, I’ve been noticing that Darren’s Feedburner stats have been fluctuating from the 1000s to 3000s and back down to the 2000s. Darren clued me in to a WordPress Plugin for Feedburner that helps to reflect more accurate stats for reader circulation, but now I wonder. Hmmm… [...]

Oh well,

Will start looking what’s wrong on my end. Good opportunity to learn how trackbacks, pings and spam filters actually work :). I have all weekend for that. Will post results on my blog, if I find anything interesting.

Thank’s for quick reply,

Can’t find any record of them being blocked at this end Staska. Perhaps it was caught in the spam catcher because you did them all too quickly but I can’t even see it caught there.

Sorry.

Hi,

I’ve submitted some tracbacks to ProBlogger in the first post on a blog that I just started. All of them seemed to be on topic (at least for me). But there’s some mixed results.

The first two trackbacks to the posts “How much do I earn blogging ” and “How not to launch a blog” went through without a glitch. For the last trackback, WordPress shows that ping to the post “Becoming a Pro Blogger” went through just fine. But I can not find it in your comments section.

Today I did another post on FeedBurner plugin and tried to ping this blog post.. But my Wordpress installation doesn’t show that it pinged this blog post at all. And it doesn’t show up in comments. Other pings were OK. So here are some questions:

Is there something wrong with my WordPress configuration?

Did I get caught in some spam filter here, due to big amount of links in my post? Or,

Did I violate some posting policy rule and am banned from trackbacking to this blog?

Any other reasons for this weird bahaviour?

Bloglines is not recognizing your feed anymore.

I even unsubscribed, then re-subscribed, but it still doesn’t work.

Bob – all I did wrong was not follow the instructions and add the feed they gave me at the end of the set up process to Feedburner. My fault completely for being in a rush.

Thanks for the link Darren.

I was shocked to see how many subscribers I should have been tracking.

e – I’ve been using it for ages. It gracefully redirects any subscribers to any of the old feeds to the feedburner version. Putting stuff in the header of the page would not do that, as they would still be subscribed to the other feed’s URI.
