How to redirect your WP Feed to Feedburner’s Feed
Feedburner is an excellent feed service, which allows you to track your feed subscribers. After you have created your Feedburner's feed, you should redirect your original Wordpress readers to the Feedburner's feed, so that you can track the exact number of your feed subscribers. By the way, the Firefox users, who use Live Bookmark to read your feed, use the original Wordpress feed. Therefore, it is a must to redirect your feed.
There are two ways to redirect the feed. First is by using .htaccess.
-
# Redirect /feed/ to Feedburner (if not Feedburner bot)
-
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
-
RewriteEngine on
-
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner
-
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedburnerFeed [R,L]
-
</ifmodule>
Just copy the code above to your .htaccess file and you are done. But the problem is, this only redirects http://yourblog.com/feed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedburnerFeed. Firefox Live Bookmarks do not read /feed, but /?feed=rss2. If you now how to edit .htaccess, you can do it. But I don't know.
The solution is the second way of redirecting the feed. It is more simple because what we need is only a Wordpress Plugin. You can get the plugin, WordPress FeedBurner Plugin v2.1, at ordered list.com. Moreover, it is also suitable for those who don't have access to .htaccess file. And the plugin is compatible with all version of Wordpress.
I've redirected my feed and I can see the number of subscribers is increasing, from 13 to 59. Cool!
