FeedburnerI have (or should I say, had) 199 subscribers to my RSS feed (burned by feedburner) of SridhaReena site. I found out that it is possible to redirect these subscribers to the RSS feed of my new site (this one, howtotuts.com). Note that the redirection works only for 30 days. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Log into your feedburner.com account, go to your feeds list and click on the feed you want to redirect (let’s refer this as old feed)
  2. Click Edit Feed Details… link at the top
  3. Paste the feed URL of your new feed in the Original Feed field
  4. Click Save Feed Details button


  5. Click Delete Feed… link at the top
  6. Tick Use 30 day redirection. You may want to click on the Learn more…. link to see a note that subscribers to your old feed are going to be redirected to the new one
  7. Press Delete Feed button
  8. [Optional] If your old feed was in the FAN, and you wish to transfer its impressions/clicks/payment stats over to the new feed, send an email to feedback@feedburner.com requesting them to do the needful. Here is a sample email that you could use:

    Hello Feedburner,

    I’ve deleted my old feed (w/ a temporary 30-day redirection to my new feed). The old feed was in the FAN program and I would like to transfer it to the new feed.

    Old Feed URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/sridhar
    New Feed URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/howtotuts

    Please let me know if any other info is needed from my end.

    Thanks,
    Sridhar.
