YourStats:
Estimate Feed Readership for Your Blog

Do you want an estimate of your blog's RSS readership? This tool can help. To use it, upload a web server log file for your blog. (Privacy note -- I don't store the log files; once it is processed and the results are displayed, the file is gone and I have no access to it.) To learn more about the methodology, see my earlier post titled Counting RSS Subscribers.

Caveats

  • The log file must be Apache's standard log format.
  • The log file can't be zipped, gzipped, etc. -- make sure to expand it before uploading.
  • This is an experimental tool. Your mileage may vary. Let me know if it goes wonky.
