It is nice, and important to know not only how many subscribers you have for a given feed, but also hits on a given link, downloads of a file, searches on a topic are presented by both your intended audience, and incidential viewers. Also, who is using your information in their work. There is no complete solution out there, and it seems like there should be. Technorati, PubSub, MyBlogLog.Com, Del.icio.us, Feedburner, Libsyn - each presents statistics about who, what and how many--but correlating the data is a nightmare. Just how many people heard my last podcast, read what I wrote, commented elsewhere about it, downloaded my cookbook and how can I present a solid case to--say--a publisher, or an investor that I have an audience and a message, etc. . . . .
