Feedburner count issues | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Are any of you experiencing an issue with your feed count once a week? It seems that for the last two or three weeks I have one day a week where my number literally drops by 50%. Then the next day it is back to is regular range. Any idea what is going on? Is feedburner just having a moment? 

I am just curious if any of you have been experiencing the same thing. 

I haven't had that big of a drop, but I've seen it from others before. Feedburner normally varies by at least 5%, so I wouldn't worry about that, but 50%? That sounds a little too crazy.

I've had problems like that too – just seems to be some type of "thing" that happens on Feedburner.  I've learned to ignore it too 

Thanks for the input everyone. I do know it isn't the most reliable but I had just noticed this one day a week thing recently. I won't pay too much attention to it based on your responses. Thanks for taking away something for me to stress over.

Yah the day after you post it will be higher than after a day of nothing.

I wouldn't worry about it. Like many other parts of blogging, it's a nice to have, but doesn't actually improve income or the product very much, so I would definitely focus on other things first.

Thanks. I am trying my best to ignore it. 

Thanks for the tip.

Mine usually drops about 50% of my subscribers once every week or two.  It's annoying.  I think when you go into the tool you can get an average over a period of time.  That's more useful than looking at a day by day since it flucuates so much.

I try not to sweat it too much either but like you I like seeing that number increase.

We see a drop every month or so but it corrects within a day or 2.

Forthe longest time we weren't getting correct readings but a plugin solved that.

I don't sweat it much but I sure do look forward to seeing the ticker go past 400

I tweeted about it and also heard absolutely nothing :)

Seems like Feedburner just has a mind of it's own. Like others have said, it is best for us to ignore it.

My feedburner count halved, about a week after my 100th post promotion. I was a little shocked to think so many people had signed on for the promotion, and then took the time to unsubscribe. But, I checked again yesterday and the numbers are back to where they were. It must be a feedburner problem. My subscriber chart shows that this has happened 3 times in the last month.
