Activate Google's FeedBurner PRO and MyBrand for FREE

FeedBurner PRO & MyBrand = FREE

After acquiring FeedBurner, Google decided to make the FeedBurner’s previously paid services like TotalStats(FeedBurner Stats Pro) and Mybrand, to be FREE for all users. Here are the step-by-step tutorials to activate both services.

FeedBurner Stats PRO — allows you to have advance stats about your site feed, such as number of people who have viewed or clicked individual content items in your feed, as well as site visitors stats.

Follow these steps to activate FeedBurner Stats PRO for your feeds:

1. Sign in your FeedBurner account

2. Select the FeedBurner feed you want to activate for Feedburner Stats PRO

3. Under Analyze tab, click FeedBurner Stats PRO link under Services

4. At FeedBurner Stats PRO page, tick the “Item views PRO” checkbox to activate the PRO services

5. Click the “Save” button to confirm and activate the FeedBurner Stats PRO services.

6. Done. You will see a little PRO icon near the feed on your FeedBurner “My Feeds” list.


MyBrand — allows you to use own domain name for FeedBurner feed. Example: feeds.yourdomain.com, instead of feeds.feedburner.com. Using MyBrand does not affect your feed stats. It only make your feed address consistent to your website address. Er.. a branding.

Follow these steps to activate MyBrand:

1. Sign in your FeedBurner account and click the “My Account” link in the upper left-corner.

2. At My Account page, click the “MyBrand PRO” link under Services

3. This is the hard part. Create a CNAME entry in the DNS records for each domain name you want to use. Then, fill in the domain name(s) to use.

Note: you need to know to configure CNAME for your domain name’s DNS records. You can refer to the Google Apps for Administrators to create CNAME record on popular hosting services, or ask your domain/web hosting provider’s help.

4. Click “Activate” button to save and activate it. It will take up to 24 hours for the CNAME to take effect.



Enjoy

 

Thanks nice tip. I will try it when i have more time.

 

Hmm...i will also try it

 

Wonder if theyll refund those who paid

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

Good news. Thanks dude.

 

great stuff, thanks!

 

You forgot to mention that when you activate Item Views it changes your links structure. Not sure if it's good for SEO... There was a warning message last time I had a look, hope it's still there.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

And thanks a lot, I didn't know that MyBrand feature was free as well.

 

I'll definitely be using these features now that they are free

 

Old news to me, but thanks for sharing.

 

same here old news for me. Thanks for sharing coz many seem to unaware of this.

 

Aw...I am not sure abt tht sorry. U can email Feedburner and Ask. But I don't think they will refund.

 

I wonder why would one think about a refund even. Feedburner is owned by a new company while the previous users were charged by another company. I don't think it makes sense even to sent them an email and ask about a refund.

When you get offered the hand, why in the hell you'd want the whole arm?

 

wow, it's nice.

i have done and i'm using pro now

 

Oh my bad...yeah i missed that part.

 

Nice one! thanks.

 

Sounds Good. I will try it. Thanks!

 

Thank you very much for the tip. The number of my subscribers dances every day so this comes in very handy for me, but what did you mean by "pro changes your link structure"?
