The number of feed subscribers is the indicator of how many people want to read your content on a daily basis, using a feed reader like Google Reader.<strong> It is very difficult to get people to subscribe to a blog ---even though it is free. Most people visit a blog they found out thanks to Google, and then leave cold.</strong> Only a very tiny percentage of them will subscribe. - Midas Oracle has about 950 feed subscribers ---that's in counting both the Web-based feed subscribers and the PC-based feed subscribers. (These numbers were taken on the raw logs. By the way, beware the numbers taken from FeedBurner. They are inflated.) But those 950 people are a very small portion of the hundreds of thousands of people who have visited Midas Oracle since November 2006. - (310,000 visits, with 72% new visits.) My computation gives that <strong>0.1% of the people who have visited Midas Oracle since November 2006 have subscribed to its main feed (a.k.a. RSS feed). </strong>That's smaller that I thought. It's probably the same ratio for the other blogs. Yes.

Numbers are so great. Didn`t you say they had only 3 subscribers last week.  So thats a 66% increase of subscribers in a week. Numbers are so great.
