With public feeds, you can add a prefix to your media content links to allow tracking using external tools. Currently, we support Podtrac prefixes.
To achieve this, go inside your feed and click "Feed Details" to open up further options. Scroll down and click on "Advanced Feed Settings", then "Use Podtrac Prefix".
Your feed will automatically update to prepend your media file URLs with the Podtrac prefix.
Click "Copy RSS Link" and save the link for the next steps in Podtrac.

Head to https://publisher.podtrac.com/register and paste the RSS link you copied above. Click on your show and it will begin scanning the feed for the Podtrac prefix. Click "Register this show with Podtrac" and create a free account with them.
If it appears to show an error, go ahead and register the show anyway and create an account.
After account creation, you should see your show listed in your dashboard. You may need to click "Scan my feed now" for it to register correctly. Podtrac says it will take 1 to 2 days to begin populating with data. Check back in your Podtrac account in a day or two to see your download count increasing as they begin tracking metrics.
