Number using RSS?

If your server provides you with site stats, you can check to see how many times your wp-rss2.php file is accessed. That might be misleading though, as many feed readers update themselves several times a day, so you get repeat hits.

ah ok, does accessing the wp-rss2.php file count as “viewing” my site? cause i’m trying to figure out out of the sessions how many are actual clicks on the site, and how many are using RSS feeds.

There are also plugins that can track that sort of thing; I’m using BAStats.

The other possibility is to route your feeds through an external service like Feedburner.

Yea, I’m using Urchin which monitors my entire webspace.

Does it give you stats specifically for the “entry” pages of a session? Any sessions that begin by hitting wp-rss2.php are almost certainly RSS readers.

yea, I have stats that give me entry pages. heh now to decipher how much of this actually comes from a single user as it gave me a listing of like 300 entries to a feed page in 1 week.

Actually, are /feed/index.html or feed/rss2/index.html the same as wp-rss2.php/wp-atom.php?

Yea they are. If you have permalinks on, then people will be accessing your feeds through those virtual directories. I can’t imagine where the index.html comes from though.

yea, i’m not sure why it shows up with the index.html, but thanks for the info! ??
