Use OPML to offer your RSS Feeds

If you have a couple or even a lot of RSS feeds for your users, e.g. within an intranet environment, you can use OPML to give your users a machine readable list of your RSS Feeds. You can use the firefox extension OPML Support to import the RSS feeds into firefox live bookmarks. Blog software like WordPress also support OPML e.g. to import blogroll lists.

Have a look for an OPML example file.

Tracking RSS or Atom Feeds with Google Analytics

If you’re running Goolge analytics for your Web Portal and you want to track, how many users are using your RSS-Feeds you can do this using the Google Analytics campaign tracking feature. Google Analytics tracks campaigns using a combination of the following five marketing dimensions:

  • Source
  • Medium
  • Term
  • Content
  • Campaign

For Tracking the usage of links within your RSS Feeds, you can use Source = rssfeed, Medium = rss, campain= feedname and you’re done.

Example for a link within your RSS or ATOM Feed:
