Today we'll talk (I mean I'll write and you'll read=) about FeedBurner.
At the very beginning let me tell you what it is. It's a very convenient support to the RSS function you're using. It does several main functions:
- this service corrects minor errors in RSS-feeds;
- it may add some additional functions to the RSS-reader, for example the Play button for podcasts (the process of creating and distributing audio or video files on the Internet like on radio or in some TV programs);
- one more point - it provides a subscription statistics to RSS-Feed (this function can either be free or demand some money).
It has become a matter of things or the so-called "burner-fassion" to add one's RSS-Feeds to FeedBurner. Now one hardly find a site or blog that do not support it. Did you know that while using Feedburner one can customize the visual and working structure of one's RSS-Feeds according to any wishes. It makes RSS look more user-friendly.
FeedBurner helps to determine the exact number of subscribers to your news channel and makes it possible to install the counter on the the website/blog to reveal how many people have already subscribed to what one writes (the data about them is being refreshed near once a day).
If your site is a blog, FeedBurner is a great tool aimed to find out how successful the project is. It determines the rate of the blog and the price for placing some advertises there. Therefore, if you want your blog to bring you money in the nearest future, do not sit still but begin using FreeBurner right now!!!
Another great feature is the ability to customize E-mail RSS subscriptions through FeedBurner. In this case the person who looks through the content of your site and finds it worth attention has an opportunity to subscribe to the news channel by the simple indication their e-mail address!!!
So now I'm a bit tired, that is why the latest information will be given to you in several days=)
