This is really strange and while I have a feel that it might be a temporary glitch I can’t help but panic a bit. My blog had a subscriber count which used to vary between 75 to 80. Yesterday the subscriber count has suddenly dropped to 45.<\/p>\n
I am completely clueless how can the feed subscriber count drop so drastically in one day. While I tried to look up the issue in Google it seems many other bloggers are facing the same problem but there has been no official announcement from FeedBurner or Google ( now that Feedburner is a Google property)<\/p>\n
If you are also seeing any such abnormal drop in your FeedBurner count please drop a note in the comment.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/span> ” Issue:<\/i> We are observing reduced subscriber totals reported by Google Feedfetcher for many feeds. This number represents subscribers you may have via Google Reader and iGoogle. These lower totals have occurred over the past two days. We\u2019re working closely with the Feedfetcher team to determine when a resolution might be possible.<\/p>\n Workaround:<\/i> None. Please bear in mind feeds are available as usual and subscribers (feed and email) are <\/span>receiving any updates you may be posting. This is a reporting issue only. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is really strange and while I have a feel that it might be a temporary glitch I can’t help but panic a bit.

\nNow that the blogosphere is going crazy about the drop in FeedBurner subscriber stats Google has finally taken the time to put a short reply. As expected this is a glitch in their system with Feedfetcher that keeps track of your feed subscribers on Google Feed Reader and iGoogle. This is what they say about the sudden drop in the feed count.<\/p>\n
