Feedburner Feed: Invalid GET data

Apr 29, 2010 – Monique Sherrett / Tech Support for Non-Techies

The Boxcar Marketing RSS feed is run through Feedburner.com, which allows readers to subscribe by RSS or email, which is super handy. For an unspecified period of time, those of you using Google Reader were unable to click on the blog post title without getting an Invalid GET data error.

I was stumped.

Until today when I dedicated 30 minutes to figuring this out. Let me save you 30 minutes.

Log into Feedburner.

Analyze > Configure Stats

Customize … Track clicks as a traffic source in Google Analytics

Remove the parenthesis in the Campaign field.

Feed: ${feedUri} (${feedName})

Feed: ${feedUri} ${feedName}

Instant fix (if you know what you’re doing).
