Goodbye Feedburner, Hello Feedburner.Google – How to Transfer Your Feed to Google

As you may (or may not) have noticed, FeedBurner.com was bought by Google, and FeedBurner feeds are now part of the Google conglomeration. So if you use FeedBurner to manage your blog feeds (as ActiveBlogging does), then it’s important to transfer as soon as possible if you haven’t already.

While not a problem until now, you will find it harder to use your feeds, as they say on their site. So rather than login issues in the future (although they do promise to allow transferring ‘indefinitely’), it’s probably best to make the transfer now.

The good news is however, it’s simple and painless:

  • Go to FeedBurner.com and sign in as usual.
  • You’ll get a message to stay signed in, go to another account, or create an account. If you use the same address for FeedBurner as for Adsense, it’s straightforward, otherwise you’ll need to go to the Adsense account (or create one).
  • You’ll next be allowed to transfer one or all feeds over (obviously, you’ll transfer all).
  • That’s it, ending with a confirmation your FeedBurner accounts are now on Google. Use your Adsense login to manage them (and everything else in your Google world).

But make sure you check into it soon. Although FeedBurner is still active, there’s no advantage in waiting, and you’ll be able to access your account in full again.
