Where Do Feedburner Numbers Come From Anyway? by Vanessa Fox

I admit it. I have a problem. It’s possible that sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I reach over to my smartphone and skim the internet a bit while I try to convince myself that I should actually get out of bed and be a productive person. And maybe, every so often, I check my blog subscriber numbers. I blame Feedburner for the obsession. There’s nothing to be done about it now. It’s morning, coffee, Feedburner. It’s just all part of waking up.

I had talked with Rick Klau from Feedburner a couple of weeks ago to see just where the numbers come from. When I woke up this morning and saw that my stats had once again run off to parts unknown (possibly St. Lucia), I figured this morning might be a good time to post that article and let everyone else in on the details.

So, if you’re interested in just how Feedburner comes up with its subscriber numbers, and why some days we wake up to morning, coffee, and a sad, sad stats state, head on over to Search Engine Land and check out How Feedburner Adds Up Subscriber Numbers.

    Subliminal, great blog you have with informative information, I just do not get why the empty space on top, when viewing at 860 resolution.
