Feedburner subscriptions?

jayveen · 11-13-2009, 06:05 PM

I've been submitting my semi-autoblogging sites to feedburner.com, and there's now a long list of them, but they all show 0 subscribers. Should I be aiming to get subscribers somehow? I'm not sure if the fb system works anyway, even without people subscribing, so I'd like to know if its still worthwhile to submit to fb even if nobody picks them up.

Are you using Feedburner just for the RSS or for the Email subscribers? If email, have you activated that part in your FB account setup and have you tested the signup process on your site.

There are some older WP themes on the market with feedburner email forms built in that still have the old FB code in them instead of the new Google-Feedburner code.

So make sure they are set up properly.

Also, since it is an auto-blog, are you tracking traffic? Is there traffic?

I am not sure how you set yours up, but a lot of the auto-blogs I have seen are merely scrapers and spammy looking and most people would never subscribe to those anyway.

I'm just submitting the site to feedburner.com. I don't have any subscribers of any type; nobody has signed up on the optin form and nobody has clicked the RSS feed button on any of the sites. But yeah, they are kinda spammy but not as much as some since they are strict Amazon affiliate posts, so the images and text come from Ama, not from anyplace else.
