While at SES in Chicago, I got to hear Rick Klau of Feedburner talk a few times. While listening to him, I realized that Feedburner’s services are well worth the free account; not to mention the paid account.

Feedburner is a feed management service. It takes your blog generated feed and works with it to ensure maximum compatibility with all feed readers. It also help make sure that your podcast, images and video are all correctly embedded and then makes your feed user friendly by adding CSS and subscription buttons to your feed’s page.

Not only that, but you can put in your Amazon ID to ensure your Amazon links make you money, you can also tie your Flickr images into your feed, get click through counts, see how many subscribers you have, see how people are using your feed and that’s just a few features of the free account.

The Feedburner reader stats are one of the main reasons I’ve used Feedburner in the past. Unfortunately Wordpress doesn’t have that kind of information yet. (Unless you have a Wordpress.com account.) I’ve been a little wary of running all my feed traffic though Feedburner in the past and it turns out I was worried for nothing.

Sorry for not posting this earlier, but this week I’m at SES in Chicago and posting to marketingblog.com. You can check out my quick session reviews or Lee’s more in depth reviews, images and videos to get an idea of what’s going on at the conference. I’ll be working a lot of my learned knowledge into posts in the upcoming weeks so you can expect some good information.

And if you’re here, reading this, find me and say HI.
