ThunderCast Tracking

With the help of Kyle, I’m going to be able to track the amount of subscribers, downloads, and clicks that the podcast is getting. Ever since we started the podcast, I’ve been very curious to know how large (or small) our listening audience is. Now we’ll be able to approximate all of these stats. :slight_smile:

Just to give you guys an example…may be to even encourage everyone to make a guest spot on a future episode, Kyle added the tracker yesterday to the RSS Feed and since doing that, the stats showed that for Wednesday alone, we had 24 new subscribers to the podcast and 33 downloads to the Larry Kenney podcast.

May not seem like much…but now imagine how many more subscribers and downloads we’ve had of the podcast (and individual episodes) since we started? We could actually have a pretty big audience. :slight_smile:

And I’m sure many of them have been waiting for a new episode!

Hopefully, we can get an episode on a more timely manner which would keep listeners interested in the podcast…and the site!

Chris here…

Holy smokes, 33 downloads of an individual episode and 24 new subscribers to a podcast that hasn’t seen a new episode for nearly 5 months?! That is pretty damn good IMHO, and should hopefully reiterate to everybody how important a project ThunderCast actually is! :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

So everythings working ok then Manny?

It looks like it. The stats started appearing earlier today so I think it needed 24 hours to get the data sorted.

Question Kyle…did you just replace the RSS feed for iTunes and the ThunderCast site…or just iTunes? Hopefully that question makes sense as I’m not very familiar with how RSS feeds work. Thanks again for your help Kyle.
