I woke up yesterday with about 2/3 of my readers missing. I have been thinking it was some kind of a glitch because they all dropped from google reader. I was so sad….Your post has given me hope that they aren’t really gone! =) thanks for the post!

I’m running a cartoon blog and have over 3000 feedburner email subscriptions at the moment. I found an interesting pattern of when feed stats go beserk and drop to 100 or something silly like that – it pretty much always occurs when you change the time of your feed delivery emails (for some reason – read bug – it calculates the feed subscriber numbers differently for 1 time period – it is usually fixed in the next 24 hour cycle)

Anyway, besides the irritation it’s good that no subscribers/ email addresses are lost.. feedburner is still the best free email subs solution to feeds I’ve come across. Now if only they would automatically put the subject of your last post in the email subject line I’d be thrilled…!

I have only been using Feed Burner for a short time and had no idea that this sort of problem occurs on a regular basis. Thanks for pointing it out.

I am new to Feedburner and to my knowledge this has not happened to me yet. But I appreciate the heads up.

I have experienced the same, though the count of subcribers is very small!

Thanks Jack, that’s very useful to know

I only signed-up with FeedBurner about a month ago and am still trying to figure out what their stats mean! Maybe you could do a post on “How to interpret FeedBurner stats reports” ?

Cheers, Jon

Interesting. I had one day where I dropped to virtually no subscribers, and I had a similar thought. Initially I panicked – had I just offended everyone and alienated my reader base?

Fortunately it turned out to not be the case, and all is well

Thanks for putting this in simple terms. I’m only on my fifth week, so my subscriber count is in the hundreds, rather than the thousands, but it dropped to twenty – four last week and I almost did a number two. It was fine the next day, but now I’ll know not to flip out.
