I signed up for FeedBurner on my own blog hosted at Blogger because it was dead easy to do it through the settings page, but what I didn't realize at the time was that FeedBurner is so much more than just an alternative way of serving up feeds. So after being on Feedburner for a while, I came up with my top 5 reasons why Feedburner rocks.

1. Hosting for your feeds. In my earlier blogpost I pointed you to a story on how David Airey lost his domain to crackers; however, he noted in the comments that he did not lose his feed subscribers because he was using Feedburner to serve up his feeds.
2. Great stats. Feedburner has detailed stats for feeds, too, just like Analytics from Google.
3. Make money. Since being acquired by Google, users can now insert relevant ads into the feeds. If you have as many visitors as subscribers, I'm sure that's a pretty penny. Check the Monetize tab of your Feedburner page.
4. Settings galore. Feedburner has a lot and I mean a lot of settings. Customize how your feeds are served to your hearts content and find things that you don't even know were possible with just plain rss feeds. Check out the Optimize and Publicize tabs of your Feedburner page.
5. It's Free. No arguments there.
   

Dave is working on hot wiring Blogger to use FeedBurner as I write this post. Go Dave!!!
