Every publisher wants the popularity of his blog whether he admits it or not.A simple way to track the records of visitors is using Google analytics service.You can refer to it by visiting the link Google Analytics.But here is another way to track the audience which is a regular visitor of your blog:-Feeds.People who subscribe to your blog feeds can easily be reported as regular visitors which not only popularise your blog but also increase its google page rank.People don't need to submit their email address so they won't hesitate to subscribe to your blog.
But now the question is :-How-to convince people to subscribe to your blog feeds.Obviously it is difficult for people to subscribe to your blog by the classic blogger option which is available at the last of your page.People mostly see the rss feed icon on your blog to get to know whether they can subscribe to your blog or not.So publishers have to provide them a attractive link and the feed icon through which they can subscribe.There are many services which can provide your blog this feature but in this tutorial we're gonna make use of Feedburner.This was an independent service before google owns it some years ago.But as you can see, it is trustworthy and provides you a lot of features to apply to to your blog.Just follow the step by step process.
