Part of that role includes keeping an eye on a number of metrics to make sure that people are actually interested in what we have to say (thankfully, they seem to be&#8230;). Recently though, I realised that, whilst I&#8217;m tracking visitors to the blog, I&#8217;m missing hits on the RSS feed (because it&#8217;s not actually a page with the tracking script included) -\u00c2\u00a0and that&#8217;s a problem.<\/p>\n<p>There are ways around this (I use <a href=\"http:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/\">Google Feedburner<\/a> on my own blog, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gospelrhys.co.uk\/2007\/09\/how-to-track-new-rss-subscribers-google-analytics-in-3-easy-steps.html\">it&#8217;s possible to put a dummy page with a meta refresh in front of the feed to pick up some metrics<\/a>) but they have their own issues (for example the meta refresh methods breaks autodiscovery for some RSS readers) and will only help with\u00c2\u00a0new subscribers\u00c2\u00a0going forwards, not with my legacy issue of how many subscribers do I have <em>right now<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>There is another approach though: <a href=\"http:\/\/christytucker.wordpress.com\/2008\/01\/17\/hunting-for-subscriber-stats\/\">using a popular web-based RSS subscription service like Google Reader\u00c2\u00a0to see how many subscribers it tracks for our feed<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/subscribers\">the same\u00c2\u00a0metrics\u00c2\u00a0are available from Google&#8217;s Webmaster Tools<\/a>).\u00c2\u00a0 The trouble is, that&#8217;s not all of the subscribers (for example, a good chunk of people use Outlook to manage their feeds, or other third-party RSS readers). If I use my own blog as an example, Google Reader shows that I have 247 subscribers but Feedburner says I have 855.\u00c2\u00a0 Those subscribers come from all manner of feed readers and aggregators, email subscription services and web browsers (Firefox accounts for almost 20% of them) so it&#8217;s clear that I&#8217;m not getting the whole picture from Google&#8217;s statistics.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/google-reader-subscribers.png?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Google Reader Subscribers\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/images\/google-feedburner-subscribers.png?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Google Feedburner Subscribers\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Does anyone have any better ideas for getting some subscriber stats for RSS feeds on a WordPress blog using Google Analytics?
