Feedburner Suddenly Blank with No Feeds to Manage

28 July, 2010 - 12:50 PM - 21 Comments

My Google Feeds are just magically gone!

Yet my feeds are still active and seem to be working at http://feeds.feedburner.com/DragonBlogger which means they appear to still run on feedburner.com but are somehow not managed by my Google Account anymore. I don’t know how widespread this issue is but checking the Google Feedburner groups and polling on Twitter I have seen at least 15 other people who have reported the same issue.

Adding the feeds manually would only reset the subscriber counts for all my blogs, and I can’t seem to find out a solution at the moment. Google has no contact for support from what I can find.

How many others are experiencing the same problem with Google Feedburner feeds?

Update:

Looks like Feedburner is back up and working about six hours later, I checked with all 3 browsers and can see my feeds again. No known root cause of the issue that I can find however.

I tried feedburner and didn’t quite like how it changed the post title. And although I was given the impression that I could customize things, some options wouldn’t appear in my feed right away if at all. Call it a case of dumb user, but still.

Going on 24 hours now…
since I received the email indicating that “my feeds had been transferred successfully.”

And still no feeds listed.
No comments or replies from Google.
Nothing.

Robert Nora@bathroom taps

I’ve lost 50% of my subscribers in the last 3 months, mostly in chunks of 500. I know that’s not just me pissing off readers.

Matthew Robbins@server colocation

My subscriber count dropped about 50%, but that’s not something that worries me too much as long as people are still getting my feed. More importantly, I’m appalled by Google/Feedburner’s product. I’d pay a chunk of money for something that actually worked and had some value-added features.

For the opportunity cost of letting my content be on someone else’s platform, what exactly are they giving me?

Some people like Feedmailpro (which I use) others use Aweber for feed + mailing subscriber list.

Mirella@elevator modernization consultant engineer

Someone said to do this-

Edit my feeddigest settings for this feed.

""Order Items By"" set to ""original order"" ""descending"".

Changed to ""ascending"", and items from the missing blogs did show up.

Changed to ""Item date"" ""descending"". Problem (seems to be) solved.

Selected ""Filter items with duplicate URLs"". Duplicate item disappears.

And all problems were resolved!!

Wow, you really have plenty of blogs to manage with :D

Yep, I run my 3 blogs and help my wife with her 4 blogs, so I have my hands in and out of 7 Wordpress blogs.

Wow, cool :) Hope you two still have time to be with each other heh heh

I wasn't having this issue but earlier my Feedburner was outputting the feed as individual lines each with a single character on them, so when people received an email update of my posts it sent 15 pages on individual characters.

I am also having problems figuring out how to turn off these stupid Feedburner tracking links (turned it off in my Google Account 30 minutes ago but links still being tracked in my feed).

MathieuB@GamingPC

Are you having any problems with today RSS/E-mail update? I published an article today, feedburner usually updates around 7PM no problem, but nothing today, no update in RSS, no e-mail. Someone else on Twitter is having a similar problem, just curious to know if you are as well?

I don't actually use Feedburner for delivering my RSS by email. I use FeedMailPro which is far superior and imports your Feedburner list + it counts its subscribers toward Feedburner. It lets you set specific time of day the RSS Email goes out and allows much more.

I think it might be temporary, because my feeds did return for a short time yesterday, although they're gone again this morning. Hopefully they'll come back and stay for good. :)
