Top 10 RSS clicks

Merlin Mann | Sep 16 2005

(Speaking of Feedburner…) As much as a stats nerd as I am, I’ve never paid too much attention to the data Feedburner provides on which items have been most “popular” among the (now ~10k) people who read 43F through the RSS feed. In fact, I only realized the other day that I can actually see which items have gotten the most “clicks” since day one.

If you’re curious about which posts were a hit in their time with the XML-enabled geekerati, read on.

  1. Hack your way out of writer’s block (4343 clicks)
  2. Request a library book…via Amazon (2304 clicks)
  3. Efficient little GTD package (741 clicks)
  4. Life inside one big text file (734 clicks)
  5. Impressive paper-based project management workflow (716 clicks)
  6. 43 Folders Wiki (649 clicks)
  7. Mark Hurst reviews “Typeit4me” (639 clicks)
  8. Next actions: Both physical and visible (627 clicks)
  9. David Allen: Handy lists to maintain (615 clicks)
  10. 43 Folders @ OS X Con (576 clicks)

Btw, you have an additional 4,123 subscribers through Bloglines reading your RSS (they probably don’t show up in other statistics)

14,000 is an impressive number. Keep going after Daily Kos and Andrew Sullivan. What’s the non-rss readership?

Seriously, I think that number includes all the different users within Bloglines, NewsGator, etc.

Feedburner is great. I just started using RSS programs and I am still deciding what I need to stick with. So far I have tried Feeddemon and WIZZ RSS for Firefox.
