Feedburner Pumps Up the Volume

You all know I'm a fan of Feedburner.

Have you heard they added a shiny new feature to the standard stats package?

Podcast download stats. WooHooooooo!

You DO need to login to your Feedburner account, then click on the standard stats link on the left, and check the box to track the downloads, and click save.

From their announcement Feb 28:

StandardStats

• Uncommon Uses: This is a new concept we're introducing that really begins to leverage the critical mass of feed readers, bots, search engines, news filters, and other common feed sources that we observe. Uncommon Uses identifies and highlights places where your feed content is referenced or clicked that FeedBurner does not recognize as a common feed service. Uncommon uses includes contact with your feed by non-subscribers.
• Podcasts: We've (finally) added the ability to track the number of downloads of rich media enclosures within a feed, including audio and video, in addition to the number of subscriptions.

StandardStats remains free!!!!!

Thanks Feedburner! :)
