How To See The Feedcount Of Feedburner Sites That Don’t Display It

Everton | Aug 17, 2007 | Comments


There are a couple of sites that I keep an eye on their Feedburner Feedcount, just to see how I’m comparing.  It’s obviously not an accurate measure, but it only takes a second.

There are a couple of sites though that I’d love to know how many subs they have, where the number isn’t published.  If they’ve ever published their feedcount in the past, then you can actually view their Feedcount by using a nice little trick.

Just get their feed url e.g http://feeds.feedburner.com/IWontShareMyFeedcount and then modify the url so that it reads  http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/IWontShareMyFeedcount and their Feedcount will be displayed!  Remember, it only works if they’ve displayed their Feedcount at some point in the past -even if only for 10 seconds.

  • If I disable the feedcount after enabling it one time, then it wont show up. I have checked this.

  • Interesting. Do you know, how to show how many readers do you have? I really need this and looking for this for few weeks now:/

  • Who me? Hehehe do I look guilty? I think the biggest surprise I got was this one blog that hardly updated its content but actually had about 400+ readers.
  • Have you been snooping at mine Baron?? ;)

    I've got the count shown on on an unlinked page of my site, I'm not that bothered who sees it - in fact it's nearly at the recommended level where I'd go public!
  • This is what I use when I want to do a little snooping. It's surprising sometimes when I see that the actual numbers are far from my estimate.
