Good Blogging Ideas: Focus on RSS Subscribers - they will come back

RSS subscribers represent visitors who come back to your site repeatedly. I took a look at my statistics last night, and the Wardman Wire main site is up to about 130.

Here are a couple of diagrams from Feedburner relating to the Wardman Wire. RSS subscribers tend to build over extended periods of time - the Devil, for example, who has been blogging for 3 years or so, currently has just under 700 subscribers.

This is the gradual buildup:

Note that I didn’t implement feedburner until June 2007.

 

And these are some of the more popular posts on the RSS feed (you need to click through). 5000 or so clickthroughs isn’t a huge number in the scheme of things, but it is certainly worth having.
