Actualización: Ya no recomendamos usar FeedBurner porque es un producto moribundo lleno de fallos. Por favor, lea este artículo para ver por qué no debe utilizar FeedBurner y averiguar acerca de las alternativas.
Todos los blogs importantes utilizan FeedBurner para grabar sus feeds RSS porque es un sistema gratuito con muchas características que no puedes rechazar. FeedBurner proporciona estadísticas, opción de optimización de feed, opción de publicación de feed y mucho más. La integración de FeedBurner y Google Analytics es una necesidad para cada blog de WordPress. En este artículo, le mostraremos cómo puede configurar los feeds de su blog de WordPress con FeedBurner y utilizarlo para ayudar a llevar su blog al siguiente nivel.
¿Por qué FeedBurner es importante para los bloggers?
FeedBurner es un servicio gratuito que está cargado de opciones que no obtienes con el feed por defecto de WordPress. Algunas de las características incluyen:
- Estadísticas acerca de tus suscriptores RSS para que puedas analizar y optimizar las entradas de tu blog.
- Ofrece a tus usuarios múltiples opciones para suscribirse, como correo electrónico y otros lectores de feeds (Netvibes, Google, etc.).
- Prueba social (recuento de suscriptores)
- Opción para personalizar sus feeds como modificar encabezados de entradas, imagen de marca y más.
- Opción de hacer ping a varios servicios de lectura de feeds una vez que publiques tus entradas.
- Integra Google Adsense para monetizar tus feeds RSS.
- Y mucho más…
Sólo con la breve lista de características, se puede ver que es una necesidad para todos los blogs. Ahora podemos pasar a establecer la cuenta de FeedBurner.
Establecer su FeedBurner para los feeds de WordPress
Primero necesitarás tener una cuenta de Google (cualquier cuenta de gmail funcionará). Visite la página del servicio Feedburner para comenzar este proceso.
En el primer paso, deberás enlazar el feed de tu blog WordPress. Si usted tiene SEO Friendly WordPress URL Structure, entonces su enlace feed debe ser como sudominio.com/feed/
En el paso 2, usted elegirá el título de su feed y la dirección de su feed. Se aconseja mantener el título de su feed el mismo que su blog. Lo mejor es que la dirección del feed sea corta y fácil de recordar.
Técnicamente tus feeds están creados, así que ya no necesitas seguir estos pasos. Haga clic en Omitir directamente a la gestión de feeds.
Verás una página con un enlace a un montón de plataformas de blogs. Ignore todo eso ya que volveremos a ellos más adelante en este artículo. Simplemente haz clic en la pestaña de optimizar que ves en la imagen de abajo.
En el paso 5, trabajaremos en la optimización del feed de tu blog WordPress. Necesitas asegurarte de que tienes la opción Browser Friendly activada, Smart Feed activado y FeedFlare activado. Puedes activar otros servicios si quieres, pero estos 3 son imprescindibles. BrowserFriendly hace que suscribirse sea mucho más sencillo. SmartFeed garantiza la máxima compatibilidad con todas las aplicaciones de lectura de feeds. FeedFlare crea interactividad en las entradas añadiendo este correo electrónico y otras opciones para compartir.
En el paso 6, vamos a echar un vistazo a todas las opciones de Divulgar para el feed. Es necesario permitir suscripciones de correo electrónico en su sitio porque hay usuarios que prefieren recibir actualizaciones por correo electrónico en lugar de utilizar el lector de Google. Pingshot debe estar activado porque avisa a los servicios cuando publicas entradas. El widget Feedcount te permite mostrar tu número de suscriptores. Es uno de los mejores métodos de prueba social. Awareness API es muy útil si estás intentando aparecer en anuncios / catálogos / fichas de sitios como BuySellAds, ya que pueden extraer tu número de suscriptores fácilmente. Existen otras opciones como el Animador de Titulares, BuzzBoost que puedes activar si lo deseas.
Monetizar tu feed es otra buena característica de FeedBurner excepto que solo te permite usar Google Adsense. Así que accede a Google Adsense y sigue sus instrucciones.
Una vez que hayas hecho todos los pasos anteriores, puedes hacer clic en la pestaña Analizar. Lo más probable es que veas una pantalla como la de abajo porque las estadísticas no están registradas. Espere hasta 24 horas y empezará a ver los números. Utiliza el recuento de suscriptores, los clics y otros datos útiles para mejorar tu blog. Ve lo que les gusta y lo que no les gusta a tus usuarios con estas stas, y luego enfócate en el tipo de entradas que a tus usuarios les gustan y disfrutan.
Integrar FeedBurner en WordPress
Aunque haya configurado su feed con FeedBurner en los pasos anteriores, pero todavía no lo ha integrado realmente con WordPress. Lo primero que debe hacer es dejar de diluir su feed y convertirlo en uno solo. Necesitas crear una redirección, para que cuando los usuarios intenten visitar tudominio.com/feed/ sean redirigidos a tu página de feed de Feedburner. De esta forma podrás llevar un seguimiento de los suscriptores de tu blog.
Hay un plugin llamado FD FeedBurner que te permite crear esta redirección fácilmente. También puede redirigir sus feeds utilizando el archivo .htaccess, pero no vamos a compartir ese método porque no es algo que recomendamos para principiantes.
La mayoría de los temas de WordPress vienen ahora con la integración de FeedBurner como Headway Theme, Standard Theme, y otros. Si su tema no es compatible, a continuación, utilice el plugin de arriba.
Añadir el cuadro de suscripción de correo electrónico en su sitio
Primero visita Divulgar ” Suscripciones por correo electrónico y luego copia y pega el código que te dan en el archivo de plantilla que más te guste (principalmente barra lateral.php). Recuerda que para personalizar el aspecto de tu formulario de correo electrónico, necesitarías tener conocimientos previos de HTML y CSS.
Si tu blog no tiene feed de FeedBurner, consíguelo ahora mismo.

How to Setup Feed burner email subscription widget without any email verification
tatjana
thank you so much! It all worked out!
Caroline
Hi – thank you for the information. Question for you, if you don’t mind. I am trying to edit my email format for my subscribers. I changed my feeds to show only the title of the post and 100 words of content, that’s all (before I was sharing the entire blog post with photos, content, etc). I would like for it to show 1 photo from the blog post as well, but I am having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do this without having to share the entire post in the email. Are you able to help here?
Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing such great useful info. I have one question my original feed url is which shows some kind of error like “This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 37: Unsupported encoding UTF-7
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.” but my Google Feed burner works fine which is:
Can you please tell me what’s wrong with my original feed?
Thanks again.
WPBeginner Support
It seems like you are using UTF7 as your character encoding. Visit Settings » Reading, if you see Character encoding option on that page, then change it to utf8.
If you do not see it there, then you need to deactivate all your plugins and switch to a default theme. Check your feed, if this resolves the problem then probably one of the plugin or theme is the culprit.
If this does not solve it, then you need to change DB_charset in wp-config.php. Edit your wp-config.php file. if you have define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf7’); then change it to define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); If you have neither of them, then add define( ‘DB_CHARSET’,’utf8′);

Hi there,
I moved my blog from weebly to wordpress and now my feedburner doesn’t work or recognize my RSS Feed address. I’ve been in touch with the WP theme people about the RSS address and my hosting company. No one seems to be helping, so I thought I’d try you.
I also opened up a Mail Chimp account based on reading your related article. That too does not recognized my RSS.
I’m starting to panic and my blog is not being sent to my subscribers. Can you help? I’d be forever grateful.
WPBeginner Support
We were able to access your RSS feed by simply adding /feed/ at the end of your URL.
http://www.example.com/feed/ Replace example.com with your own domain name and then use that URL in MailChimp.

Hi, i just transferred my blog from blogger to wordpress. I installed a plugin for feedburner subscription. I gets a mail whenever someone subscribes to my website, but when i checked my feedburner email subscription list it doesn’t show any new subscriber..can anyone help me with it?
Mandy
Hi, I just moved a website from Blogger to WordPress.
Now Feedburner sends out not only the usual daily emails when a new post gets published. It also sends out summary emails every now and then with the last 8 articles in a list.
Feedburner was used on blogger already, so the feed didn’t change, the links are the same like before.
I think somehow FB thinks that all these posts are “new”. Any idea how to stop this?
Thanks!

I am using genesis e-news extended plugin for my feedburner.
Aaditya Sharma
all steps i followed and active feed, but i can not find the option of monetize and awareness api
WPBeginner Staff
Yes, your feed will still be at the same URL. What you are doing, is displaying your blog posts on a custom page. This does not change the chronological order of your posts or feeds.

How can I find my feed address? My blog located on
Please help.
WPBeginner Staff
Your feed address can be found by simply adding feed after your website’s url like this:
http://www.example.com/feed

You gave me a general answer? I know it. It is in your article too. Thant’s why I sent you my blog URL. You have removed it on my first comment. That is bad. What I really want to know is my site is wordpress. But my blog is a page, but getting all the updates. I can’t even explain it. May be you can. This is where my blog is

Tried to setup a feedburner link for my Wordpress website (http://gripopgewicht.com), but the following error appears (over and over again):

My feedburner feed only publishes my podcasts posts but not my blog posts. What will happen if I change my original feed to allow both to be published? Remove the /category/podcast from original feed? Thanks
WPBeginner Staff
Then your users will get all your posts. However, you should consider that many of them may have signed up just for your podcast and they may not like receiving posts they didn’t sign up for.,

Hello,
I have an existing feed set up and am trying to set up a second one for a new website. In ‘my feeds’ when I type in the new domain name in ‘burn a feed right this instant’ I get the following message. The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 153: The string “–” is not permitted within comments.
Is this because I have a new website where the wordpress theme is not set up yet and I only purchased the domain 24hrs ago?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

If you have not installed WordPress on your new site yet, then feedburner will not be able to find a feed.

Barry, Pages in WordPress do not appear in RSS feeds. Are you sure your pages are appearing in the feed? Are you using some plugin that adds pages or other custom post types into your main feed?

Open the main page of your website and view its source. You will find your rss feed url on a line like this:
1-click Use in WordPress
Note that this link could be different, or may not be there. For example, people using WordPress SEO plugin sometimes accidentally turn off their RSS feeds. Try deactivating all your plugins and then reactivate them one by one, check your feed each time.

Hi. I am a newer blogger and have set up both feedburner and adsense on my wordpress blog. However, I cannot find any way to integrate the adsense into the feedburner account. On my feedburner management page the “Monetize” tab is not there. I have tried working through adsense also, but no luck. Can you help?
Pasha O
Sadly Google have shut down Adsense for feeds so you can no longer monetize that way.
Marie Hills
Sorry to seem stupid, but where in the sidebar.php file should I add the code? I have created a child sidebar.php file and copied in the existing adult sidebar.php code and then copied in the Feedburner code but I don’t see anything come up?
Pasha O
Hi. You can add the code as a text widget. Go to Appearance > Widgets. Look for the Text widget and drag it to your existing sidebar or footer area, usually located on the right hand side.
Paste your FeedBurner coded into the text area and save. No check your website to make it shows up in whatever widget area you’ve placed it in.

Hi, I tried to follow your guide but I always get this error: The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 275: The element type “link” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “”.
Also the Feed validator tells me: It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn’t find one. Please enter the address of your feed to
validate.
I activated Seo Friendly Url and deactivated all useless plugin. I don’t know where to find the error and what to do.

Hello,
is there a way that all new user registration emails are verified like feed burner with opt-in option to avoid spam.
WPBeginner Support
Actually when a new user creates account on WordPress they do not enter their password. Instead, WordPress sends their password to them via email. Now if they login to their account this means their email account is verified. You can also use this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/dm-confirm-email/
