Blog Rss Subscription Analytics gives you the information you need on blog syndication without giving your data away to a third party feed reporting service like FeedBurner.

Taking Control of Your Syndication Destiny

Blog Rss Subscription Analytics lets you control and own your syndication data. BlogEngine.NET out-of-the-box does not provide Rss Subscription data. There are few blog applications that include Rss Subscription reporting, so BlogEngine.NET is not alone. Normally, blog owners who value their Rss Syndication efforts turn to a third party feed management service like FeedBurner. The problem in redirecting your feed to FeedBurner is that you turn over ownership of your entire syndication processes. You don't own your historical syndication data, there's no potential for including enhancements and value-add features in your syndication stream, no security, brand dilution, and so on.

Sueetie Analytics Blog Rss Subscription Analytics gives you both Subscriber and Reach data so you'll know how many people are subscribing to your feed and how many of them viewed your posts in a newsreader like RSS Bandit or Google NewsReader. Sueetie Blog Rss Analytics supports multiple blogs as you see below on the Subscribers Report. The Analytics Rss Subscriber Report shows the number of unique requests for the feed, recording a single entry per client IP per day.

Some may think this logic is deficient because it does not account for feed caching services like Google. That's a valid argument, but what is truly important in Blog Rss Syndication data is REACH. We want to know how many people are READING our content, not merely subscribing to our feed.

The Syndication Reach Data indicates how many times a subscriber actually viewed a post in their newsreader. A 1-by-1 pixed blank.gif image to appended to the syndicated post content, which upon retrieval registers the page view in Sueetie Blog Rss Analytics.

While the numbers are low on the screenshots, they show how Sueetie Blog Rss Analytics gives you a running tally of your Blog Syndication Subscription and Reach. And it's data that you own, not that FeedBurner or some other party owns.
