Subscribers
Posted by toddhelmkamp on January 31, 2007
I have a question.
I track my blog stats stuff with Feedburner. Subscribers, hits, etc.
I only have four subscribers listed.
Now I know that more than four people read my blog.
So my question is this: If you regularly read my blog, do you use a reader? If so, which one?
Do you link here from another site?
Are you subscribed via the email link on the page? If not, why not?
Info will help. I’m just curious.

I originally subscribed via email, but I have since switched to the RSS feed. I actually use both GoogleReader and Thunderbird. But only count me as one.
GoogleReader checks your site once on behalf of everyone using it, so you might have 15 readers on GoogleReader, but they are only reported as 1. Hope that helps.

i use Google Reader as well.
it’s pretty cool to be able to check for updates via my phone.
i think i subscribed via the built-in Firefox rss link located to the right of hte location bar.
