I, like so many others, was vastly overjoyed when I saw a nice jump in my feedburner subscriber count.
Sadly, it appears that these new subscribers are really just people who’ve followed us on friendfeed.
While I don’t discredit their subscription on friendfeed (every person counts!) it really isn’t valid to place them into our feedburner count as these people didn’t click an RSS button on our site/s to sign on for our feeds.
Not to mention friendfeed is more of a social network than anything and most users return follow anyone who follows them… I know I’m guilty of doing that so have no doubts that others do as well.
Hopefully google fixes this issue soon because it really is an issue.
I want to know how many people sign up for my RSS feed; not how many people sign up for my RSS feed AND how many people follow me on friendfriend mashed into a group pile.
I like my statistics simple, please revert and give me my correct numbers again. *shakes fist*
