Are RSS fees tracked by Google Analytics?

[ahw]

In both the new GA and former version, how are RSS feeds handled by Google Analytics.

If not, is there an easy means by which to account for this traffic, in order to have a better picture of traffic.

Thanks.

You can't track accesses to your feeds as simple as you track pageviews. You still can see the traffic coming from you feeds.

If you are using XML feeds in plain text, then there's nothing you can do to track impressions. However, if you use some scripting language to build the feed, (if you are using wordpress you are) then you can use some server side counting including sending a track pageview to Google Analytics while the scripts prints the feed.

Here's an example on how you can accomplish that: http://suefeng.net/blog/google-analytics-rss-feed-tracking/

Hope that helps!
