I noticed a significant drop yesterday and thought it will be back up, at the latest, today. It doesn’t go the way it should be though. Today the number of readers for this blog settles at the lowest point. Given the scale of feed count drop, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one being hit by this problem.

This blog has been online for over a year but I have not received enough number of feed subscribers to boast. I only got around 10 subscribers. Recently though, I saw how my feed subscriber count went as high as 51 (as of this moment). This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of articles I read from other bloggers.

This may be old news for some of you but I thought I would write a post for the benefit of those who may not know about it. After all, until today, I had no idea that things of this nature are happening around our blogging world! As a practice, I take time each morning to visit the blogs that have linked(trackbacked) to my blog/blog post.

I’ve had a few queries asking what is going on with my RSS feedcount. As I type this article, my feedcount according to the Feedburner chicklet looks like this - Yeah, 34,015 readers, not bad considering I was around 6,000 a few days ago, then I jumped to around 17,000 and now it’s doubled that number.
