The Way I Track How People Subscribe To My RSS Feed

by Bryn Youngblut on August 7, 2008

I am sure most of you never noticed but I have 2 different links to subscribe to my RSS Feed.

Remember I’m talking LINKS not images.

Notice anything about the links? Look again.

Now do you see?

So what I can do by using this method of just capitalizing one letter is I can see which links people are clicking more to subscribe, you can essentially do this many times with different variations of capitalization. I actually did this by mistake at first and then when I was looking at my clicks section under blog stats noticed two different links for the same thing with just a variation in capitalization. Anyways I just thought this was a cool little trick to use if you don’t have expensive “heat zone sensing” or whatever tracking software.

Never thought of that, looks like I’m going to have to bite your style. Thanks for the tip.

That’s a pretty neat idea for keeping track of where the subscribers come from!
