FeedCount

As many of you have noticed already we have rolled out a cool new feature: feedcount. Since many people are reading blogs using a rss reader, comparing blogs only on pageviews is not at all accurate. So we added to our system another metric starting today, and this is the feedcount. It works for any feedburner feed that has the awareness api public (the default) and we update this value daily (as provided by feedburner) .

This value is added to the pageviews and counts in our global ranking. For blogs that don’t have a feedburner feed we are unable to get this metric and we would really suggest that you get your rss feed from feedburner.  It is free and has many other cool features.

Note: if you want to change your existing feed on your topofblogs listing you can do this from your account (using any of the automatically advertised feeds on your blog).

I hope you will enjoy this new feature and we are looking forward for your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve topofblogs even more.
