I don't worry to much about subscriber count, I know if I keep on writing quality content. They will eventually find me and make the decision to subscribe or not. This is long term for me. Not an overnight quest.

The thing to remember if you're a person who watches their subscriber count daily is that those ups and downs generally represent a technical issue rather than people unsubscribing and resubscribing. My feed has been bouncing between about about 3000 and almost 4000 this last week, today it says 3400-ish, but I pretty much know for a fact that tomorrow it will be back to well over 3800 and by Thursday it may even have gone above 4000 for the first time. Users subscribe, they rarely unsubscribe and certainly not en masse. The peaks and troughs are all about Feedburner's reporting system.

Even blogs without any subscribers could gain a whole lot of commotion and controversy. It's just in the recent year that everyone started to gain subscribers for a high count number. I admit that I have also done this too, but have just realized that it was stupid.

Sound advice – one of my sites has been up and running for about 11 months now and subscriber numbers have gradually increased. i signed up for Blogging Idol in an attempt to focus on building the numbers, and I have a little but not as many as some of the contestants. One side effect of the added efforts though is increased traffic – and increased adsense revenue!

I find it hilarious that right under this article is one of the largest, most obtrusive RSS "reminders" that I've ever seen.

Putting subscriber count over anything else it totally request for head health check.

But I fail to understand that quote. "participate and interact"? What is better participating than following blog daily?

Someone who made a comment and poofed is better "participation" than someone who reads blog daily for months without commenting? Or what?
