    I don't really believe if it's true but I can't find any explanation why I should believe it is not true.. My RSS subscribers has mysteriously jumped from an average of 80 to 5K++ in just 2 days... I can't really figure it out why...

    The following is today's data.. I did never put that counter on my site until today because the record keeps on dropping to ZERO everyday...

    Today's count shows 5,301

    The the following image says I have 371
    [​IMG]

    And this one says I have both 371 and 5,222
    [​IMG]

    The counter also shows I have 5,222
    [​IMG]

    Do you think it is true? Or just a glitch? I consider myself a very lucky blog owner if this is true... Any feedback please....

    No, I have no idea about it... and I checked my feedblitz which is totally independent with my feedburner and now I have 5K too...

    I don't really understand...

    my suggestion : wait untill 2 weeks :)
    this is old trick that can be played easily.
    if your stat remain 5k then its good for you :)
    if not.. this is just resurrection of old school tricks :).

    The question can be answered much better with looking at your ranking in either Alexa or Compete or some other independent traffic source. Although, you should be able to post something about analytics its rare to see someone with feed burner & no analytics. That too should show a jump, why not sign up for analytics, put it on your site, then, show us those numbers. That should make a few people be quit.

    My analytics is behaving weird since last month and until today, I don't even have a single visitor from central asia, africa, and south america so I cannot say my analytics is accurate...Pluto is correct, I should wait for weeks and see if the stat will change..

    They either messed up or it is just another made up screeshot to get visitors to your site.

    There are a lot of morons out there, especially here, so it works. You'll get no argument from me on that one.


    Of course he does.

    Congrats if that's real. If the old rule still applies, each subscriber is worth $40. :D
