Activate the Pigshot Service in Feedburner

Written by Basis-Consultant on 10:00 PM

Feedburner provides you a very good service that  updates major listing services like technorati,bloglists,pingomatic etc that your blog's content is updated. This is very useful. There is no need for you to go and ping those services manually, feedburner pings them automatically for you. Of all it also includes other pinging service pingomatic which ping a large no of services (12 or more i guess). I recommend all blogger who are using feedburner to activate this service. To activate this service goto publicize in your feed's control panel then goto pingshot and click on activate button.By default it ping 6 services. But you can add 5 additional services which includes alexa also.

Below are the default options

  • * Technorati — Technorati is the authority on what is going on in the world of weblogs
  • * My Yahoo — a customizable web page with news stock quotes weather and many other features
  • * Bloglines — helps you subscribe to and manage lots of web information
  • * Newsgator — tracks it all and brings the web pages to you
  • * Google Blog Search Pinging Service — A way to inform Google Blog Search of weblog updates.
  • * Ping-o-matic — Pinging lets dozens of services know you have updated your site and increases traffic to your blog
You can add alexa ( i recommend you to add alexa) and many others (limited to 5).

How to display your feed count?

Written by Basis-Consultant on 8:43 PM

If you are using the default blogger feeds you will not be able to track how many people are accessing your website through feed. If you use third party feed manager like feedburner you can display the no of readers subscribed.
To get the code for diplaying the feed count goto your feed control panel n click on publicize button.

 

Then go to feed count.
you have options for choosing static or dynamic feed chicklet.

Choose your colors and click on activate button. and you will get the code to the feed count chicklet

<p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/HacksNTipsForBloggers"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/HacksNTipsForBloggers?bg=99CCFF&fg=444444&anim=1" height="26" width="88" style="border:0" alt="" /></a></p>

Just put it in any of the widget on the top portion of your site to show of your feed count. Since you are showing off your feed count here, dont display you feed chicklet until you reach a good  number like 100 or more.
