FeedBurner RSS Subscriptions Plummet

by trigatch4 on August 16th, 2008

I’m not sure if anyone else has had this issue but I just wanted to report that my FeedBurner statistics for SEVERAL websites has absolutely plummeted. I lost 66% of my readers on one site and 50% on another… arguably my two most important sites.

I’m relatively new in the world of driving RSS Subscriptions but its one of my newest favorite measures of success. It has been a decent amount of time since I’ve been following the RSS Subscriptions on these 2 other sites even if I haven’t been “focusing” on them and I haven’t seen a drop like this yet.

Could it be a recalculation of the FeedBurner Algo? Have they stopped checking a particular source as subscribers? Is this a normal fluctuation/error that should be updated shortly? Its been over 24 hours so I’m guessing if it was a temporary glitch it would have been fixed by now.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues or are my sites the only ones to get flamed by feedburner?
