When will I be able to track the number of subscribers to my RSS feed? I don’t want to use Feedburner or any other 3rd party tool. I could look at Apache logs or look at the stats from BAStats but WordPress feeds can be accessed from different URL’s so I never know how to determine my syndicated readership. Why can’t I place a little code on my page that displays the number of unique feed subscribers?

1I agree. That would be very handy indeed!

2Erm, perhaps you could code something in rewrite that passes it through a 3rd party before serving the rss. Sorta like the WP download counter… but with more info.

3I’m also trying to find a way to track this since I can better judge whether content I blog about is relevant to my readers. I found one way, but it involves customizing your web analysis tool. See http://www.ideaspace.net/users/wkearney/archives/entries/000064.html

4Never, seriously it would be one hell of a job to get accurate results. I think feedburner is your best bet right now.

6Well, whatever the URi the users use to subscribe to the feed, the PHP code that generates it is always the same, so there’s a good way to track things—of course, until such a feature is integrated onto Wordpress, it will be, obviously, a hack.
As for me, I *do* have a sort of control over the accesses to my feed—I use BBClone to stat my blog, so I added its code to the feed PHP script as well, but that will be optimized in a near future, by creating a sole stats tool for the feed.
I’ll drop a line when/if I have news

7P.S. For “sole stats tool” I meant “independent from the main BBClone site stats”, but it obviously has to be, in the worst case scenario, a Wordpress plugin.

8Joao, I have tried bbclone but I couldn’t get it to work with 1.5. Where are you adding the bbclone code? I have tried the files in the theme and in the main index.php.

Nevermind. I got it.
