Question about RSS feeds

[sadiessay-so]

I love FB... It has a lot of great options once you get into it that helps the look of it, and helps you publicize it.

What I know of RSS Feeds
Rss feeds do not appear as "normal web pages" unless read through an RSS feed reader/app.

There are free RSS Feed readers to add into your current internet browser. Firefox is what I use. I am still trying out Flock.

If you use wordpress (free blogging and cms platform), RSS feeds are churned out automatically for you at http://www.yoursite.com/feeds.

If you want to create your own RSS feeds (like you're not using Wordpress), Google for free RSS Feed makers - they are actually bots that crawl through your site and gives you a feed page that you can upload to your site.

If you're looking for more info on how to
+ add your feed to into your site/blog so other can subscribe to your feeds
+ format and change the look of your site/blog feeds
+ add your feeds into an RSS directory (so others can also find you)
+ grab other webmasters' RSS feeds (from vategory/topic of your choice) into your site for "automatically-updated content"
then you may find this resource (which I discovered about 2 weeks ago) useful (comes with training manual/pdf ebook etc and has a free rss parser script which you can install into your own self-hosted website) --> Challenges that every blogger or webmaster face | Kelly's MyQute Fairy-Angel Lifestreaming Bloggie

I don't use the rss parser script since I am already using Wordpress, but I find the free RSS informational (ebook) to be very good.

I have transferred all my feeds from Feedburner to Google. Transition was smooth without any glitch. I was fearing to loose my mail subscribers, but everything is retained.

Now I can easily use 'Adsense for feeds'

I have a query regarding feedburner and google.
Is there any advantage of using google instead of feedburner?

Adense for feeds i can use with feedburner too, correct me if I am wrong.

You cannot use 'Adsesne for feeds' until you migrate all your feeds to Google and that is the biggest reason for transferring feeds to Google.

Thanks a lot...as I am new so i was totally unaware of this.

I have already moved all my feeds to google.

Still I have a doubt how to get the URLs of the google feeds. I checked it in my blog, it is still pointing to Feedburner.
Let me know what should i do next after moving all my feeds to google.


Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep.

For feed management login through feedburner.google.com

The interface is exactly same as feedburner and you can easily grab the new urls. The general format is as follows:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/your-feed-name
changes into
http://feedproxy.google.com/your-feed-name

Hope this will help...

I have a love/hate relationship with Google but what other choice do we have. I switched hosts and the directory changed so the feed changed. I tried to do that 30 day transfer but it looks like it transferred from itself to itself. I know - I'm technically challenged. Beside that problem, even the new feed isn't working properly. It only shows my email subscribers not my feed subscribers. Google is about as helpful as a brick wall. It is frustrating. Anyone have any ideas?

You can "follow" your feed subcribers via FeedBurner or FeedBlitz. Other than that, I think the Google Webmaster Forum may help you better.

P.S. I am just thinking if it's possible your webhosting service provider's servers are up-to-date? Cos that may be the problem why your feed isn't working. Can you elaborate how or why it isn't working? Have you recently reformatted your pc?
