@Kurt, try out the FeedBurner help center (http://www.google.com/support/feedburner/) The forum users there are helpful If you search around, you might get a support email address there though I am not hopeful of getting faster response from email support request.

Try forums and groups on that page.

@Ajith: Thanks for the details. Yep I tried a migration request some time ago when I learned about the adsense for feed but nothing worked out. Any specific address or page for which I can contact google for this specific one please? I am always lost when I have to contact them as there are TOOOO much pages and TOOO much different contact pages lol.Kurt Avish's last blog post... Joyshan on Blogshot with Kurt!!

@BinaryDay, good luck with that

@qarla, Nope we are all in the same boat…

@Dennis, yep for me as well it was not as bad as a C-section… Just normal

@Kurt, I guess you had tried a manual migration via a request to feedburner sometime back during the beta program of AdSense for Feeds? I see that your target URL (click here to check) already shows a frozen feed from October last year. Obviously they did not do a clean job in the manual migration process. I guess you need to contact Google on this.

@Raju, congratulations on that…and be careful with the feed count API access. If you have thousands of visits per day, they could ban your IP. Instead, use a programming logic to cache that number and do a single update at a particular time of the day!

@Ardit, you want to be with FeedBurner for one last night or what? hahha…

That’s good that the migration went well for all of you. I am however stuck with a problem for this migration. When I click on the move account link I get this message:

The following feed URIs are already in use: IslandCrisis-DarkPassionOfKurtAvish.

The only option I have is a link to return to feedburner dashboard. Anyone can help with a solution to this problem please?

Ajith,
I will google it again. The last time I googled, I ended up completely confused. Looks like I missed out on something

@Read2Know, if the feed and ads are working, everything is fine. As for the feed count, there still seems to be a replication problem. Probably it’ll be fixed soon.

@Shirley, yep, thanks for reminding to update the subscribe via email script as well Other places to correct are your feed aggregation/feed directory accounts, social media, forum signatures etc.

@Lax, don’t worry too much about the displayed count. That part will be fixed soon.

@qarla, Google promises to fix the issues related to FeedBurner soon with this migration completed.

@Tammy, you nust need to log on to your FeedBurner account and initiate the migration as mentioned in the first part of the post.

@BinaryDay, I think almost every blogger has written about that topic Do you still want me to write?

@Kim, Yep it’s a very simple automated process. I hope too that Google may provide more reliable statistics on feed…

The move really was quite simple. I had to change the url for my feed and email subscriptions in the sidebar and also updated the Feedsmith url. The subscriber count dropped dramatically for a couple of days and then went back to what it was before the move. (not up, unfortunately). I'm curious to see if the service really does become more reliable.Kim Woodbridge's last blog post... How to Style a Sticky Post in WordPress 2.7

Very good. I just migrated my feed last week. And I was immediately nervous that I had lost my subscribers when my Feed Count plummeted. But it recovered in a couple of days.One thing that you should also remember to do is to update your email subscription form with new code.Shirley's last blog post...
