I think I have it figured out. Go to your Feedburner account. Go to Analyze. Select StandardStats on the side. Make sure “feed item link clicks” is selected. I think that’s the option. Mine wasn’t checked…

[...] JLP at AllFinancialMatters recently posted an article about his Feedburner stats. A lot of us were totally clueless about this feature. Luckily, JLP followed it up with a complete tutorial so now all of us can see click-thru rates and such. [...]

I’ve always been able to see item use for Experiments in Finance (which has nothing very revealing to report about popular items…maybe ‘cuz my visitors don’t seem to come from feeds), but not for my other blog, which I set up with feedburner only a two months ago. I get that secret handshake/upgrade message for that one. Could it be they set a cutoff date at some point after which blogs wouldn’t automatically get the service with standard stats?

Nick,

This doesn’t make sense to me because I get this information and I’m not a subscriber. However, I did gripe about some changes in the past and I wonder if they set me up a different account. I don’t know. I would email them and ask them what’s up.

I’m definitely following the steps JLP outlines, but my Aggregate Item Use page is grayed out and covered up with a box that says:

“Hall pass and secret handshake required from this point on.

Upgrade to TotalStats now and, like, totally join the cool club. Starts at $5/month.”

The interwebs don’t love me today.

The difference is Standard Stats versus Total Stats. Anyone with a Feedburner account should see this with Standard Stats. I do.

Nick,

That’s strange. I’m not paying anything for their service.

$60 per year seems a bit steep to me.

When I did this, it asked me to cough up $5 a month to subscribe to their advanced services.

Investorial,

Thanks. It took a long time to get that many readers!
