Should We Use Google FeedBurner or not?
Why I Stopped Using Google Feedburner to Serve My Blog Subscribers?
Feedburner is a Google’s RSS feed management service which
is necessary to operate a Blog or website smoothly. It goes without say that Feedburner
plays significant rules for running our website smoothly. There are many widgets
also serving through site’s Feed. I won’t say that Feedburner hasn’t any
significant effect on our daily blogging but there are many reasons that we
should not use Feedburner anymore.
From the beginning of 2012 of my Blogging career I am using Feedburner
but in 2016 I have decided to stop using Feedburner. You may think what’s the
reason behind this?
Feedburner is not Updating for longer time
We have seen Google Blogger has updated their all products
except Feedburner. You won’t find any attractive feature on it. Even it hasn’t
any beautiful subscription form for potential subscribers. Formerly we are able
to serve Google AdSense ads on Google Feedburner but from 2012 Google has officially stopped this service. As a
result now we are unable to serve ads on Google Feedburner.
Feedburner unable to offer subscribers to the weekly newsletter
Feedburner hasn’t any option to control their email. Suppose
if you want to send specific email to specific person then you can’t send it. Because
Google Feedburner hasn’t the option to send email to specific receiver.
Feedburner’s daily email makes annoying the email subscriber
Email list building is very important but sending too much
email is really annoying. Can you imagine that if you have posted 5 posts in a
day then your email subscriber is going to receive at least 2-4 emails from you
per day. As a result subscriber feel irrigate and simply unsubscribe from your
mail list.
Feedburner serving with Monotonous Email Body
This is really boring to see dull email every day. Feedburner
serves same designed email with different message. As a result receiver won’t
feel open email. Moreover you won’t able to customize your email body in Feedburner,
which is possible in third party newsletter service provider. On the other hand users couldn’t remind readers of most recent
posts.
Feedburner couldn’t add sharing or forwarding buttons in the e-mails.
Inside Feedburner email body user won’t able to add any
social media URL and forwarding buttons inside email body. You may have many
social media page but this is not possible to share the entire social media
site in website. So we can add various social media URL on email body section.
But this option is available on third party newsletter service provider. In addition users couldn’t add a preview of
comments on the posts.
Content theft use Feedburner for copying your content
For protecting our content this is necessary to stop content
theft’s activity. I know you have taken many actions against them like me. In
my site I have disabled right click feature; disabled Ctrl+U option, disabled
text selection and many more, but still my content was copying by content
theft. Finally I discovered that content thief copying my content from Feedburner.
Even I have got penalty for duplicate content. Because Google search robot
found same content in 5 to 6 sites. As a result I have control the Feedburner
by using Feed summary burner. So using Feedburner is very risky for a site. And
now I have decided to stop using Feedburner.
Should We Delete FeedBurner account?
The answer is absolutely not. Be careful about this. Feedburner
has many problems but also has many positive sides. If you are using FeedBurner
then your email list has grown up significantly. And if you delete your FeedBurner
account and moved to new newsletter services then many existing users won’t
noticed about it, As a result you may lose many subscriber from your current FeedBurner
account. You can move to alternative free and paid feed service providers.
In concluding remark we shouldn’t use Feedburner anymore
rather we should use alternative of feedburner for feed service. And for email
subscriber we should use any third party newsletter service provider. However
there are many free and paid newsletter service providers available over the net,
I will come with them in my next articles. Stay tune for latest update and
please subscribe to my new email list.
