Can You Help Me Find My 100 Missing Rss Subscribers?
By Bryan Clark on Nov 4, 2007 in Rss
You may be wondering why I’m down almost 100 Rss subscribers. I know up until a few minutes ago, I was too. The truth is… I’m not down 100 Rss subscribers. You see, it appears that Google is creating even more buzz in the blog-o-sphere.
The reason that sites are losing Rss subscribers at such a rapid rate has nothing to do with your blog. For some reason, people that read your Rss feed using Google, aren’t showing up in your Feedburner stats anymore.
According to John Chow, this isn’t the first time Google Feedfetcher users have had this problem. But fear not… last time it happened, the problem was fixed within 24 hours.
Don’t sweat it!

My feeds took a tumble this morning, which was counter to general upwards trend I’ve been enjoying of late.
I’ve seen this before, and it rectified itself soon enough.
So let’s hope this is just a blip…

Yeah I noticed the problem this morning and posted about it. I’ve had quite a bit of feedback and Feedburner have now made an official announcement on their blog stating that Google feedfetcher was out partying or something silly like that
Anyway, the upshot it that it should be working again Monday morning.
