Whats Going On With FeedBurner Lately?
Seriously, what has been going on with FeedBurner over the last couple of weeks?
Is it just me or have other people been losing and then regaining about 50% of their subscriber count on almost a daily basis?
You will see from the image above (green line) that I have been dropping from 2,200 subscribers to just over 1,000 (1,040 today) regularly over the last 2 weeks.
I am guessing that it has to do with certain subscription methods not being counted but you would think that they could get their service right (I mean it is owned by Google).
Well that is all I had to add today, has anyone else experienced these FeedBurner problems? Or is it just me?
PS. I know that my subscription count has flat-lined over the last couple of months, this is due to the fact that I have stopped promoting my free ebook until I relaunch StandOutBlogger with a new design, a new direction and a new free ebook!

Well Tom, good to see that your no. is back. I think it’s a known issue for many years although Feedburner does not consider it an issue. Here is a post that has some explanation from Feedburner. Going by this “technical” explanation, looks like it’s going to be status quo.

Yes, it had happened to me too but it is alright.

It has happened to me too but I’m not to concerned with stats now.. rather focus more on content.

Alan is correct. This “glitch” has been there since FB was born.

Dominique – I totally agree! I don’t check often, but when I saw the multiple dips it kinda surprised me. I am actually taking away my subscriber count in my redesign – to see if it makes a difference.
Dennis – I had noticed it before, but not this frequent or this big. Good to know it’s nothing serious.
