Feed Need

I've got three RSS feeds.  Not because I wanted three but because over time I created three.  They are:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/AVc

http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/atom.xml

http://avc.blogs.com/a_vc/index.rdf

I like the feedburner feed best and promote it on my blog because I get stats on that feed.  I have about 650 people subscribing to that feed according to Feedburner.

But I have no idea how many people subscribe to the other feeds.

I added all my feeds to Bloglines today and that tells me the following:

Feedburner Feed - 197 subscribers on Bloglines

TypePad Atom Feed - 220 subscribers on Bloglines

TypePad RDF Feed - 230 subscribers on Bloglines

So if Bloglines is a typical aggregator, and I have no idea if it is or isn't, then I have the following total subs:

Feedburner - 650

TypePad Atom - 723

TypePad RDF - 759

Total RSS subs - 2,132

Who knows if that is right?

So, what I need (my feed need) is some way to aggregate all the feeds into a single pipe and get stats on all of them together.

I have noticed that many other blogs have this same problem of multiple feeds.

If you want people to use your feedburner feeds exclusively, then you should establish a http 301 moved to redirect them there. It's easy enough to do in Apache, but I don't know whether it's available from the TypePad interface. If you can't find it, then try opening a ticket and asking for help.

I think there's an FAQ on the feedburner page about using autodiscovery to look for feedburner only. Or write to them, they're dead helpful.
