Track Traffic from Feeds on Feedburner using Google Analytics
Feedburner is one of the most used RSS feed client. I had earlier discussed the complete analysis of feedburner subscription in detail and now you can track the traffic coming to your site by using Google Analytics.
How To Activate Tracking on Feedburner
If you have already created feedburner URL for your blog’s feed then go to the Feedburner dashboard and activate the Google Analytics tracking. To do that, go to “Analyze” tab on feedburner dashboard and check the box “Track clicks as a traffic source in Google Analytics”. Now your blog’s traffic thru feed will appear on Google Analytics dashboard.
Where to check traffic thru feeds on Google Analytics
To track the traffic thru feed, click on the “Traffic Source” tab on left panel of Analytics Dashboard. Under that, click on “Campaigns” link. There you can see the details about traffic coming to your site thru RSS feeds on feedburner.
Traffic Source => Campaign Screen | Google Analytics

i know nothing about it.. but i think it already be turn on by default.. :)
Yes Izzat, Google has turn on this option for every feedburner account by default. But many of use don’t check the “Campaign” section under Analytics and that’s why this post is important. :)
Wow, I use Feedburner and Google Analytics and I never knew this. I use to log in and then check, but this seems so much easier. I’m going now to update Feedburner, thanks for sharing this.
BTW, I think it’s only been available after Google took over Feedburner. The more Google buys other apps, the more they can integrate with their exisitng apps.
I got this news 3 days ago and just checked that button and wait :-)
Much needed article. I was wondering how to make it , as in my webmaster account it was disabled
