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.

Hi! We recently forwarded our blog’s feeds through FeedBurner. FeedBurner reports nonzero subscribers and reaches/clicks, the awareness api is on for the feed, TopOfBlogs lists our feeds as FeedBurner enabled, yet, the chiclet won’t appear in our listing and our feedcount remains zero. What do we do wrong?

Hello, api calls to your existing feed are returning: “Feed Not Found”, while on your direct feedburner one they return a proper result. If you want we can change the feed to the feedburner one or wait for a while to have your feed propagated to all the google servers. Let us know… feel free to use the contact form on our site if you want to contact us directly.
With kind regards,
