Feedburner Feed Analysis
New tool out from Blog Perfume that is featuring a new way to analyze your Feedburner statistics in a nice graphical format. Since we are statistics kinds of folks here, throwing this kind of new tool ought to prove amusing, and sure enough it did.
The number of subscribers is very useful for bloggers to determine the popularity of their blogs. Yet, blogger like me may hope that the FeedBurner stats can tell us how fruitful our effort results without much analytical calculation on our own. As such, I developed Feed Analysis v1.0 which can provide bloggers, with the aid of beautiful interactive charts, a more detailed report and analysis from our feeds. Source: BlogPerfume.com
The interesting part about the feeds jumping in November and December is that I tried out one of John Chow’s ideas on how to get more folks to sign up for the RSS reader, so I started offering RSS to E-mail for everyone. The great part is that someone does not even have to visit the web site, they just get an e-mail at the end of the day, and can see if that is good or bad for them. You can read John’s entry here (he has been banned from the Google index though, so if you search for John Chow, you will not get his web site).
The blog perfume statistics though show that just by adding the e-mail link, it has worked out fairly well, which was not immediately obvious in the Feedburner stats as shown below.
Same data, different view, blog perfumes version is much easier on the eyes, and more intuitive in regards to what is being seen, and what it all means.
Very cool little tool, makes a huge difference in how you will interpret Feedburner statistics, more meaningful, and just plain cool with very little pain involved in how to use it. Worth checking out.
