Most of use Feedburner to burn our feeds and maintain some stats like Feed Subscribers Count, Live Hits, Item Use etc. I would like to throw some light over Feed Subscribers Count, How accurate is it ?
Google does not currently report the number of subscribers to your feed when it requests the feed, so the number of subscribers you have on Google home or Google Feed reader may be underrepresented by an unknown amount.
So Imagine you got 50 loyal readers using Google Reader or Google Personalized Homepage, these readers go unnoticed in your feed count. So what’s the point in showing off your feed subscribers count ?
Its looks for big publishers who have more than 1000 readers, but for someone like you and me who are stuck under 200 - 300 readers, showing these stats to our readers would badly hurt our rep

Well, guess it would “hopefully” be a matter of time before Google starts reporting.
Currently most of my readers are Firefox bookmarks, kinda strange

I seriously have no idea how many readers I have, I really should be using feedburner but I’m just so damn lazy

I also haven’t put in the numbers there. Why? I think mostly because the blog’s better without it.
