asp.net mvc - How do I measure traffic to my dynamic rss feeds? -


i've got website tagging system similar stackoverflow's. , i'm in process of creating ability user subscribe tag-based search through rss. think i've got figured out except 1 thing.

because of flexibility i'm creating, potential number of different rss feeds coming site staggering (thousands , thousands). , can't input each of feedburner. i'd still measure traffic. in particular, want number of unique rss views, or unique subscribers. i'm not going picky being 100% accurate... think uniquely identifying rss traffic in way make figures more useful.

at simplest level, determine uniqueness based off of ip address. if reading rss feed through online feed aggregator, won't ip address obscured? tracking ip address of aggregator, , if many people visited site through same aggregator, might same ip. suggest?

i posted comment pubsubhubbub, think applies analytics. you'll able know how many service subscribe each feed. (note it's service, not people).

then, measure actual views, or susbcriber, harder. 1 way track different things , extrapolate there. first, can of course track number of "hits" on each feed. check ip , useragent may give adequate information. then, can insert (x)html content in feeds, images. 1pxx1px transparent image may able give valuable insight on how many times given entry in feed seen. (i'm sure there other ways though!), track clicks on links example. extrelemly useful. i'm sure services bit.ly can of here...
