Bloglines question - can I "fix" so that people who subscribed to the wrong RSS url over there from my end somehow?

yes, it seems a silly question, as all I'd really need to do is redirect old feed URL's such as backend.php and /rss to the new feed URL and all the subscribers would still get their feeds right. Right? Right.
BUT, there are hundreds of people subscribed to some really old feeds and some not even from my site - instead they're subscribing via http://commercial-archive.com.nyud.net:8090/backend.php (!?) , and as silly as this seems, it affects my sites ranking* on stupid lists all around the world. Apart from announcing on all the old dud feed URL's once a day, where the new feed is and hoping those hundreds of people spot it and switch is there anything else I can do? I wish I could ask Bloglines to "move everyone" to subscribing to the real feed, but that's out, isn't it?

I know one shouldn't care about these things, but I do care as it may help open up oppertunities for Adland if it got a little more link love in the world, I work pretty hard on it every day.
