Feedburner Site Stats launched

Friday, January 5th, 2007 at 7:27 am

Hello - welcome to my website.

On my blog I write about marketing, public relations and digital communications. To keep up-to-date with my posts you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign-up to receive blog posts by email.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you find my site useful.

Many bloggers use Feedburner to republish their RSS feeds - the service provides a great selection of statistics about RSS subscribers.

In 2006 Feedburner acquired a blog statistics company called Blogbeat. They’ve now completed the integration of the Blogbeat technology and have launched Feedburner Site Stats. The basic stats package is free.

At first glance the site stats page in Feedburner looks as simple and as intuitive as the RSS stats that I already use. I’ve installed the small tracking script into my Wordpress template, which was a straightforward two minute job.

I now have three stats packages running on my blog - Google Analytics, Statcounter and Feedburner Site Stats.

I’ll post a review on how the Feedburner offering stacks up once I’ve had a proper chance to road test it.

    Happy New Year, Simon. Looking forward to the review. I use Statcounter and think it’s a cracking service but interested to see what Feedburner can offer.

    Happy new year to you too Simon. I’ll hopefully post something after a week or so of using Feedburner.

    At first glance Statcounter (free version) looks to have more functionality, but Feedburner (free version) looks simpler to use (although of course the two could be related!)

Simon Wakeman

I've been on the web since 2001 and have been blogging about marketing and public relations since January 2006.

I'm currently Head of Marketing at Medway Council as well as a freelance marketing and PR consultant.

The content and opinions expressed on this website are not endorsed by nor reflect the views of any company or organisation I work with.

…I was very impressed with the forward thinking and attention to detail Simon displayed…he thinks projects through carefully but quickly and has a good rapport with a wide range of people, from senior politicians and officers through to colleagues and his own staff. Malcolm Triggs, Go4 Marketing and Public Relations

Simon was energetic, focused and displayed a commercial and pragmatic approach at delivering propositions. I found he was able to deliver projects within plan through building great relationships with his team and those in other disciplines or with suppliers. Nick Kusalic, Egg
