Get ratings on your FeedBurner feeds

One of the most frequently asked questions we get is: "Most of my audience reads my posts via RSS and not on my website. How can I get my RSS readers to also rate my content?"

As of today we're making our ratings available for integration within FeedBurner RSS feeds. We've used the FeedFlare API to provide you with an embedded rating link within all your posts.

Enabling the outbrain FeedFlare is super-easy. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Login to your FeedBurner account.
  2. Click on the 'Optimize' tab, and select the 'FeedFlare' option.
  3. Scroll down to the section called "Personal FeedFlare" and paste the following URL into the text box: http://widgets.outbrain.com/FeedFlareUnit.xml
  4. Click on the "Add New Flare" button, and check the '[x] feed' checkbox.
  5. IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the page. (or - the 'Activate' button if this is the first FeedFlare you are enabling)

That's it! It's important to note that FeedFlares may take a while to update with the freshest rating data. This is a FeedBurner limitation and there's little we can do about it.
