Huh~ Finally it’s over. It was really a nightmare for me. The feed redirection error happened last week cause me spent so much time on it. Not only wasting my time, energy and spirit, my feed reader drop down tremendously. Since I have use most of my time to check on feed error instead of blogging, I have no article throughout the weekend.

How to Resolve?

The temporary solution that I mentioned in my previous post – Feed Redirection Error is incorrect. Eventually, the redirection method that I use make my rss subscribers unable to feed any post. So, do not ever try to use the redirection method when you have feed error! I have disabled the redirection plugin.

After check on feedburner’s forum and Google, there is not much help. Their situation are differ from mine. I thought it was due to php coding space line problem. After check on my wp rss php codes, all looks fine. At last, I do a query on my wordpress mysql database for the word http://AhTim.com/feed/. It prompt me some results, including the setting at AntiLeech plugin.

Really busy after come back from my leave on Monday. Lots of weird problem happened not only at work but also my blog. When I click on my url feed (http://AhTim.com/feed/) by right it should auto redirect to my feedburner url. But it just failed to redirect! My firefox prompt the error page below, “The page isn’t redirecting properly”. Have you experience this feed error before?

I thought it was due to the Feedburner FeedSmith plugin error. I reload the plugin and re-activate it. Still failed. After that, no choice I have to use redirection technique by tweak .htaccess file. Somehow, it still fail to redirect. This is first time it happen to me. I am sure I do not change any blog settings.

Redirect Feed to Feedburner

Instead I suspect it may due to some php coding problem. It is not easy to read through all php codes in my blog theme. After all, I have found a plugin called Redirection. (more…)

It is not easy to get all rss readers to follow your post daily.
Frankly speaking, I myself also not able to finish my favorites feeds.
I have subscribe to more than 110 feeds subscription, maybe can finish weekly or bi-weekly but not daily.

When a RSS reader not follow your post in 1 day, means you loss 1
reader in your feedburner rss stats. For bloggers have more than 1000 feeds, 10 readers are not making much difference. But as for beginner like me, this definitely affect my trust worthy from blog’s visitors.

How to get permanent RSS readers?

This is an interesting question. Permenant readers means they are
calculated in your rss feed stats even they do not read your post
daily. Of course, provided they are still your readers. To get
permanent RSS readers, you must know how feedburner works.

Feedburner count your feed request within 24 hours and display at your feedburner stats. There are 2 type of RSS subscription methods. First via feed reader subscription, second via rss email subscription. If a normal feed reader does not access to his feed reader, he is no longer counted even though he is still a subscriber. But if he subscribe via email, FeedBurner counts him as a RSS request even he never open his mailbox for few days. This mean this reader is counted as long as he still receiving your email feeds.

In this way, the reader become your permanent reader as long as they do not unsubscribe. So what do you think? Will you ask your readers to subscribe via email? or stick with normal feed reader?

If you have not subscribe to  AhTim tech blog, please subscribe via email! Help me to get at least 100 permanent RSS readers (more…)
