Feedburner uses a redirected permalinks in the feeds to track the clicks to the posts from the feeds. But since most of the bookmarkings are done through the feeds, you don’t get the most of the benefits from this. I was wondering how to do this and was going through the feedburner features and finally found in under the PRO features.
So how to change the feedburner settings to show the original permalinks in feeds by disabling feedburner redirect?
Click on the Analyze tab for the feed that you want to change. Then click on Feedburner Stats PRO. Under For my Feed, track: , uncheck the option Item link clicks. You can set these options for complete item use statistics or Search engine ranking.
So if you are unchecking this option you will not be able be track the clicks from feeds to posts. Click Save and you are done. Now the permalinks in the feedburner feeds will be the same as the actual post permalinks.
I too wondered how to change this, but never explored the Feedburner PRO options. Thanks for this update.

@Inna, @Shashank…Thanks for your comments.
@Syahid… I am not sure if you had mistaken…If you uncheck this parameter, you will not be able to track what posts are clicked from the feed to the actual post in a blog…but you will get to have the actual permalink in the feedburner feeds…
