    Hello everyone, I have one more question. Suppose I have a blog xyz.com and the normal wordpress feed is xyz.com/feed/
    Now, I have the feedburner feed:-> feeds.feedburner.com/abc where abc is site name.
    Whenever I try to open xyz.com/feed/ it redirects to feeds.feedburner.com/abc
    Is it the best way of handling feed?
    Or I leave both these separate.
    What you normally do?
    What you suggest to be the best practice.
    Thanks in advance.

    if you want your feed for getting your content syndicated, then wordpress feed works just fine. if you however have a lot of readers of your feed, then forwarding to feedburner would work better. different people have different choice. people who read feeds use different platforms for reading the feeds so it doesn't have to be a feedburner feed for them to be able to read.

    long story short, if you have a lot of readers and want to promote your feed page individually, then use feedburner. if not, then you can leave it to wordpress

    Thanks sultanofseo. Okay, that means it is not mandatory.
