New free services from Feedburner
Posted by Jacque on July 3rd, 2007
Feedburner announced that beginning July 3, 2007, two of FeedBurner’s previously for-pay services — TotalStats and MyBrand — will be free.
Those already using free services will need to sign-in and activate these newly free services. Those paying for “PRO” accounts will not be charged for the month of June 2007 and beyond.
Stats PRO is feed analytics “taken to the next level.” With it, you will have access to the number of people who have viewed or clicked individual content items in your feed and “Reach,” which estimates the daily number of subscribers who interacted with your feed content. To turn this on, sign in to your account, navigate to the Analyze tab, and go to the FeedBurner Stats PRO section. Click the “Item Views” checkbox to activate these PRO features.
MyBrand service is the other newly free feature. Located under the “My Account” tab after you’ve signed in, MyBrand lets you maintain consistency between your feed address and your hosted website’s domain. “You must be comfortable playing around with DNS entries and own the rights to the domain whose DNS entries you’ll be playing around with in order to successfully activate MyBrand.”
Google purchased Feedburner less than a month ago.
