Also, on my newer blog (the one in the link), I'm about to roll out a separate newsletter. For me, RSS and email subscriptions and then the accompanying email newsletter have been my biggest metrics in terms of what I focus on tracking (rather than on site stats). I'm curious in why you're not as interested in your subscribers as your on site stats. (By the way, I don't mean that you're not interested in the people who subscribe - I just mean it from a stats stand point.) -Marshall Jones Jr. I have a question: why not continue to push for RSS subscriptions?

Page views and visitors haven't grown at the same rate as RSS growth though. I saw almost 400% growth in RSS readership. I've done a few things to help... I added a huge rss button to make it easier for people to subscribe and I create a welcome page for anyone who comments for the first time where they can subscribe easily. But, when I saw the greatest growth, it was always accompanied with strong content that many people were engaging with and when I was posting at least 2 if not 3 times a day. Since the summer my RSS growth has just hovered in the mid-300's but I'd gotten down to only 3-4 posts a week. I'm pushing to hit 500 in April, which means pushing a lot of content, especially content that engages. 2009 was a fantastic year for RSS growth.

Most of those come from friendfeed.com I do not know if that is because people just do not use an RSS Reader or what, but I wish i had more. But I am more interested in stats then feed subscribers I guess. It is weird because I have daily readers but not a lot of rss subscribers (50 in all). Most of those come from friendfeed.com
