I posed the question last month ‘When should you display your feedburner rss to your readers?‘. Before you can even think about displaying the number of subscribers on your blog you need to actually encourage readers to subscribe to it.
One of the most important ways to do this is to display your rss feed details in a prominent position on your blog. I have the BloggingTips RSS Feed displayed at the top right hand side of every page on the blog. I’m sure that this is a factor in the number…
