our counter, at least today, has us 1 subscriber away from 400! So close I can taste it ...

Congrats. That is awesome. My site has been all over the place lately. I am hoping it stabilizes soon so that I can actually set some targets.

Thanks for mentioning that plugin SPF!

Yeah, thanks from me too! I installed the plugin and my feedburner count looks much better. Laugh

For info, I monitor the Feedburner stats for Miss Thrifty via SWIX (like Google Analytics, but for social media) and they look like this:

I.e. small daily fluctuations, punctuated by sudden & sharp dips that bear little correlation to post frequency or feed clickthroughs. I monitor subscribers for other blogs this way and this stuttering graph is fairly typical of them all...

 

I'd never heard of a Feedburner count sticking like that though, so am pleased to hear that you have been able to sort it FrugalBeautiful!

Also, sometimes it takes a while for them to catch up with the RSS feeds. Mostly, they count only the email subscribers which would explain why your numbers are so low compared to Google Analytics.

Y'all were so helpful, It is such a great resource to be able to vent/throw ideas out/ask questions and get answers from people who know!  My roomie who doesn't blog was trying to console me (as I sat frustrated yesterday)  and though I appreciated her support, it wasn't the same as people who've been there! Thanks friends!

Feedburner stats are more ballpark guidelines. The science of counting feed subscribers is more of an art. It is based on number of fetches from unique users in a day, but different readers work differently and Feedburner isn't that great at counting and updating everything.

I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I have never had any trouble with feedburner, but being stuck on 9 doesn't sound good.

 

I have added you to my reader, so hopefully that will help out

Try FD Feedburner plugin.   It helps sync up your feedburner numbers.

I double this recommendation.  When I installed it, my number went up significantly.  BTW, welcome and I look forward to meeting you in Chicago.

And it is not real time (if you yourself subscribe from, let's says your friends email, it doesn't go up. I tried it with my husband email). FeedBurner is weird that way.

I have never heard of FB showing fewer subscribers than Google Reader - usually it's the other way round!

 

I just subscribed via RSS, so if it doesn't go up to 10 you know that something is wrong!

 

I did notice thatmy Google Reader thinks your feed is as follows (a typical FB URL):

http://feeds.feedburner.com/fr.....lbeautiful

 

However the URL on the RSS button at the top of your page is something different. It seems to be redirecting fine, but perhaps FB is "dropping" subscribers along the way?
