Hi Guys in my previous article I have shared why to stop using Feedburner? But that article is not complete because if I say you stop using Feedburner then you must go with any alternative service which is better than Feedburner.
Just a little review why to stop using Feedburner?
- Feedburner is not updating since 2007
- In Feedburner page and Feedburner email you will see many icons are missing and not loading properly.
- Feedburner hasn�t any reliable email delivery option. Because users hasn�t any control over delivery email except selection of email delivery time.
- Feedburner API and displaying AdSense facility has shutdown in 2012
- Major problems are facing Japanese blogger. Because Feedburner.jp domain has expire in July 2012 as a result many Japanese Blogger lose their existing subscriber on Feedburner.
- It doesn�t affect any SEO and Google don�t care about this. We know a popular product called Google reader which is already shut down. And it seems to me Google will shutdown Feedburner in near future.

So we must stop using Feedburner soon or later, decision is up to you. However the question is what are the better alternatives of Feedburner? And where to switch to Feedburner?

1. Specific Feeds
One of my favorite Feedburner alternatives is SpecificFeeds. This is really awesome because it works with all RSS readers, even no branding on subscription page. I always recommended using this feed. Though it has not any weekly digests delivery option but you can filter the email delivery option. Multiple emails delivery channels available under SpecificFeeds. It has solid RSS and email subscriber tracking facility. You may think how to migrate your current Feed? No worries SpecificFeeds has comprehensive Feedburner migration wizards and transfer plugins for WordPress but Blogger can also transfer their feed easily.

Those are the Google Feedburner�s best alternatives which you can use for your Blog and Website. However as a micro Blogger we must consider the cost effectiveness. For new Blogger we should go for free feed service provider. But if you got a large site then you must switch to paid feed services to maintain your site professionally.
If you know more feedburner alternative sites then feel free to share with me. However I have found various sites which are telling that they are feed burner alternatives but in real they are providing only RSS to email service. Thank you.
