Joao, 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.

P.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.

Well, 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 ;)

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

I’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

Erm, 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.

I agree. That would be very handy indeed!
