I am trying out the FeedBurner-Netvibes flaw as listed in thenextweb. The hack is to increase your feed count by 1000s with a few clicks.My feed is a new one,started yesterday with just 8 subscribers. I uploaded an opml file with 1000+ entries to netvibes just now. Lets see how it ends up.

The opml file will have a structure like this :

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>









What we have to do is, duplicate the


as many times as you want to increase the feedcount. replace the xmlUrl with your feed url. I’l post updates tommorow about whether the hack is still working or not.! Any way, even if it works, i am sure that the google and netvibes will fix it and reverts my count! :)

My current feedstats : (3 Day old feed with average subscriber : 4)

FeedBurner netwibes feedcount hack

Update : 20 hours after the trial , still the feed count hasn’t changed. Seems like Google has fixed the issue. Any one else tried this and succeeded?

  1. Yup. Google has fixed it. I have tried it but could not succeed. Google fixed it after the video of THENEXTWEB. I wish I could do this earlier… :-( But, you can go to http://bit.ly/bi0QvS and find out how to get more traffic to your blog… That may increase the readers :-)
