The way to turn off the click thru feature has changed — I spent a lot of time clicking around Feedburner before I figured it out. The item to look for is “Feedburner Stats” with a blue “PRO” image next to the link, instead of the “StandardStats” link.

I just turned off the feature. I don’t get many hits, so it wasn’t really useful for me anyway. Adds a little transparency.

[...] Also, look at another post from Marketing Pilgrim (and no, this one’s not by me, it’s by Jeremy Luebke) on why you should not use click tracking on FeedBurner (read on the comments to see how to fix that). Anybody out there quite proficient in MT/Typepad? I started on Blogger and had to learn WordPress for work before I made the switch to WordPress here on MamaBlogga. If anyone can give some pointers on the same issues on TypePad, it would be appreciated! Tags:blogger wordpress [...]

You can btw make FeedBurner use a 301 instead of a 302, this page shows you how. Makes tracking a tiny bit less accurate, but preserves your PR.

Just in case you’re like me and will spend forever clicking around FeedBurner looking for it, you turn this off under Analyze > StandardStats.

I think a bigger issue is that Google seems to ignore the No Index feature.

Thanks for the tip! Good thing I didn’t have it on. I can still get that info out of Google Analytics, though.

[...] Jeremy L. wrote tonight at Marketing Pilgrim about something I’ve noticed, too: Many of the outbound links in the Search Recap posts on Search Engine Land use the Feedburner URL, not the URL of the actual post. This, of course, provides the blog being linked to with zero link juice. [...]

I’ve been noticing this, too. I do a weekly link roundup on my blog, and I always take the time to click through to the site so I can get the actual URL rather than the Feedburner version. I know Danny and Barry are Super Busy, but still … I dunno … maybe they could at least click through and grab the actual URL for those of us who are SEL columnists? Hehehe….

I’m thinking about adding the actual URL in small font size to the start of every post to make it

1) easier for anyone to grab the URL for linking purposes, and
2) easier for people reading scraper sites to know the real source of the post.

Surely there’s a way to automate this in PHP … shame I don’t know it!

And Jeremy’s kind enough not to point out that we were one of those sites who had click tracking switched on.

All fixed now, thanks Jeremy.
