Welcome
back guys, today i am going to show you why you should stop using feedburner
and move to some other better alternatives. FeedBurner is Dead. You need to stop
using Feedburner.
In 2014
since I started www.codexpresslabs.info
I setup feedburner for codexpress, but just recently a week ago I decide to
stop using this service.
In this post,
I will talk about why you should avoid and stop using FeedBurner. If somewhat
you’re already using it, then i will show you why you need to stop using
FeedBurner, and how you can swap to reliable FeedBurner alternatives.
One there
API is dead and some features they can’t provide for example validating
subscribed users before letting them to download a file on your website that is
one major issue I stop using feedburner.
FeedBurner
hasn’t seen any features or updates for a long period of time as we can
remember. FeedBurner API was taken down. They also retired the AdSense for
Feeds feature. All of this happened in 2012.
Feedburner
is an essential service tied to your blog is an add-on service and let you know
who sign up for your blog through RSS. RSS is a web technology that means
“really simple syndication” So it means it a web base technology which let
other program to fetch content from your website.
FeedBurner
is Google’s RSS feed management service that many bloggers relied upon several
years ago (What is RSS?). While Google hasn’t shut it down yet, it has been
rumored for quite some time that Google is going to shut it down.
Note:
Feedburner at normal takes feed from your website automatically that is
originally created by your website (blog) and generate new URL to track anyone
who sign up from your website to provide better service.
So, the most relevant side to get, is that it enables
more ways for users to “signup” (subscribe) to your website, and then enable
you to see a number on how many users that have taken a goal action to follow
your website.
Normally, the icon shown below is little more relevant
if your are tracking metrics (number of clicks, views etc.) for your website.
FeedBurner
Alternatives
Now apart from users analytics and ability monetize
with AdSense, FeedBurner enabled two main features that bloggers loved which let
them stick with this services.
FeedBurner gave bloggers a nice and better way to
display their RSS feed with options of letting users to share their content
with other social media networks.
FeedBurner enable a free and easy way for users to sign
up to your website through Email address.
Now take a look at FeedBurner with alternatives that
are better.
