Optimize Your Feedburner Feed With FeedFlare

I found an excellent tool provided by Feedburner if your feed is run through them. It’s called FeedFlare, and if you don’t already have it activated, get on it! FeedFlare is the feature on the bottom of each RSS feed post that shows you important links such as “E-mail this * Add A Comment * Digg This, etc”.

FeedFlare example

I’ve seen it on other blogs before, but I just started to look for how to add myself tonight. Login to your Feedburner admin and click on the optimize tab. On the left you’ll see the FeedFlare option on the menu. Once you click that you’ll see all of the options for the different “FeedFlares” you can have. I added the 4 above for now, as you don’t want to have too much that it overbears the reader. If you don’t see something you want, you can browse the catalog for more, or even develop your own using their API.

Something that takes just a few seconds to add can drastically improve your blog, increase interactivity with your readers, and bring in new traffic.

    Nice FeedFlare writeup. We just created 6 new dynamic Flares, incorporating data from Myspace, Last.fm, Furl, Tailrank, Meetup.com, etc.

    They’re available here: http://blog.orch8.net/?p=19

    Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
