What the heck is Feedburner ? (Were you living under the rock ?)
Feedburner is a metrics service which lets you find out that how many people have subscribed the RSS feeds of your blog and in may 2007 it got acquired by Google Inc. The service is excellent and is being used by millions of bloggers around the world as this is one of the neat ways of finding out that how your blog is performing.
Google and low quality ? (Why aren’t they allowed to make mistakes ?)
I know it’s little sad to know this however, I’ve been noticing from last couple of months that every now and then the feed count stats are never correct. They turn to zero, sometimes way less than the actual subscribers and similar stuff. May be this is happening because of the integration with Google Account, however what ever the case may be, I’ve experienced that the service’s level has gone way down after the acquisition by Google.
I’m not sure if it’s happening with everyone or not – it’s something which I’m experiencing these days and wanted to know if you are also facing a similar issue ?
Ya this is happening to me as well from a while now. The subscribers suddely become zero.
Yes! I agree with your point here. The quality has gone done and Google is certainly not allowed to commit mistakes. The feed count shows incorrect count frequently after Google has acquired Feedburner. I hope this issue gets fixed soon and Google stands for what it is known for.
I am still in denial about it all.
Whenever I check the stats of my higher traffic blogs it will say zero and then an hour later it will be back to 100, then 20 then zero again. I hope it improves or that someone comes out with a better similiar service
My numbers bounce all over the place. One day I’ll have 90 and the next it will be 47, I have no clue what is going on with my feed number!
I have experienced it too. I found google webmaster tools more reliable than feedburner. But it displays only the google subscribers, not all feed starts :-(
