Feedburner Count Messed Up?
I heard of a couple people reporting unusually low Feedburner counts. Mine has been averaging 75-77 over the last week or two, and as of right now is displaying 39. That is quite a drop off. Hopefully it is only temporary.
I really don’t care what the feed number count is because I don’t rely on it for advertising. But a lot of high traffic blogs with subscribers in the thousands can earn more money in advertisements if they have a high feed count.
I’m sure something happened with their reporting. I doubt that I had 40 people just drop my blog overnight. It doesn’t make sense.

At first I was amazed that so many people unsubscribed just because I missed a day of posting (it was the last day of finals), but after noticing this post on Dave’s blog I realized it was just a hiccup in the system.

Mine is going up!! Weird
Mine fluctuates on nearly a day-to-day basis. I try not to worry about it too much, because I can see an overall gaining trend in the feedburner stats. You’ll also notice major drops on the weekends and because feedburner reports a day behind or so, you still may have been seeing those effects.
[...] I was not the only one affected by a huge drop in RSS subscribers. Both David Lithman and Matt of Net Business Blog were hit as well. It turns out the problem was a glitch in Google’s Feedfetcher. [...]
