Possibly Ways to Track RSS Readerships

Brian Peddle of SavedByZero.org discusses possible ways to track readers of Rich Site Summary (RSS) feeds. It certainly won’t beat an e-mail subscriber list and e-mail open/clickthrough tracking as ways to know who reads your content.

  1. With the method I discuss you can track how many times your feed was read. If you want to track clickthroughs you can simple alter your links to include a tracking code.

    Example: If you link to this blog posting.

    https://digitaldeliverance.com/MT/archives/000257.html

    in your rss feed you could do

    https://digitaldeliverance.com/MT/archives/000257.html?rssFeed=true

    or any querystring.

    As for knowing the actual user, you are right you cannot beat email tracking.
