View Full Version : Feedburner Toy (if you have Awareness turned on)

Bruce (http://www.lipodcastnetwork.com/) put together some code, which I reworked for my own purpose. I then decided that it would only take a little more effort to make this so that anyone could use it whenever they wish.

If you go to http://oneminutehowto.com/FeedburnerStats.asp enter your Feedburner feed and the date (must be in YYYY-MM-DD format) you started your podcast. The program will then draw a bar chart from your Feedburner stats, as long as you have your Awareness turned on.

Hovering your mouse over any of the bars will pop up a little box that contains the date and the value. However, the value is not the value for that particular day, as I felt that there was too much up and down for that. The value is the average daily circulation over the previous ten days, which I felt to be a bit more meaningful. Additionally, the red bar(s) indicate the high point(s) for this average.

I decided to use a querystring for this input information, which simply means that your entered information will be displayed in the address. That way you can link to that address and not have to reenter your information each time you want to view it. As a bonus, I included links to my four websites at the bottom. <g>

So if you use Feedburner and have your Awareness turned on, feel free to give this little program a go, and let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Cheers -

awesome, dude, i like it
it'd be nice if you had some kind of number line, vertically, to reference to...or maybe a horizontal line every 50 or 100
other than that, really sweet

ive got two red bars. does that mean those two were both the highest point? and the same?

Yes, that's correct.

I just put this together during some down time at work, so I may not have a chance to get back to it for a while. Good suggestion and I'll definitely keep it in mind.

Ha... ITRadio looks really sad next to your examples:

All the reason why we need to win the podcast-o-rama at Vitalpodcasts.com (http://www.vitalpodcasts.com/PodcastORama2006/vote.cfm?podcastName=ITRadio)!

Well, mine looks pretty sad next to my examples - I just included it to show that not everyone has 1,000 subscribers. <g> Then again, because of your comment I'll definitely check out your podcast, and if I like it then I'll be another number of yours.
