What are the "ReferPals FeedFlare Services"?
This service works in coordination with the FeedBurner FeedFlare service. If you don't know what FeedFlare is, then see the FeedBurner site and check the "Optimization" tab and look for FeedFlare. As a basic description, FeedFlare adds content to your "burned" RSS feeds and possibly even to your blog posts by the way of injecting links or whatever is defined by the FeedFlare unit. In the case of the ReferPals feedflare services you can currently have your Digg counts inserted and linked back to the Digg site for any of your posts that made it to Digg or show your Netscape vote and comment counts. Here is an example of what it would look like in your feed for Digg counts:
We have found that you tend to get more Digg and Netscape submissions if you have the links displayed on your blog posts in addition to or instead of in your RSS feed. Just follow the instructions on how to include FeedFlare for your particular blogging platform on the FeedBurner site. Here is a quick way to find the instructions for your blogging platform on FeedBurner. Just enter your feed URL and choose your blogging platform. Then click the "See Instructions" button.
The URL to add the Digg ReferPals FeedFlare unit is http://flarexml.referpals.com/DiggCountFlare.xml.
The URL to add the Netscape ReferPals FeedFlare unit is http://flarexml.referpals.com/NetscapeFlare.xml.
See it in action on a blog at http://devinfranix.blogspot.com and in a feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/devinfranix.

After the 1000 total hits have been exceeded your feedflare links will be directed to one of our pages with an ad displayed and the readers will then be forced to click through using a link at the bottom of the page.
