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?

I’d be really interested to know what happened? I have only just started but got virtually no subscribers, so I’d like to know if the culprit is our site or feedburner.
