For Shame!
Posted on August 6th, 2008 by Donace in For Shame and Fame
As reading my blog list one day and spotted a link to a new competition over at BigMarketingOnline(.com) and went over there and spotted that their RSS feed subscriber no. looked a bit weird.
So I added the ‘~fc’ tag to make the link thus
1 | http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/BigMarketingBlog |
Showing the true feed count; A colleague wrote the gist here. One thing to remeber by adding the ‘/~fc/’ before the name of any feed you can verify their subscriber count.
FOR SHAME ‘Big MARKETING Online’ FOR SHAME!
and so begins a new category of posts :p

Wow…I never knew about the fc thing! Nice tip man..thanks. I know there is a feedburner validation script, can’t think of the link off the top of my head.
I learned about it from TUK.
I didn’t know about the fc thing, if I had a lot of time to go around verifying ppl that would really come in handy!
It’s been a big issue lately that I’ve been reading and hearing about – really too bad.
indeed the fake it till you make it thing truly is being seen a lot more.
