Clueless Webmaster Seeking Feedback

    Hi Folks,

    Some time back, I created an RSS feed for my website -
    http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/vaughns-summaries.rss.xml

    I have validated my feed at feedvalidator.org -
    http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/vaughns-summaries.rss.xml

    I went to Feedburner, and submitted my feed. After having checked back at Feedburner 8 bazillion times, I gave up. The result was always the same - 0 visitors, and 0 subscribers. I realize that my website is not the "be all-end all" website in the world, but shouldn't I have seen SOMETHING other than zeros?

    Feedfetcher-google visits frequently, yet I cannot find my feed in the Google results. Google indexes most of my content very well.

    1. Why might my Visitors and Subscribers be zero?
    2. Is my feed indexed in Google? If not, why not?
    3. What should I do?

    Thank you very much for any help you can give.
    I am not a programmer, just a retired hardware engineer.

    when did you added your feed in the feedburner? It may take some time to index in google. or you have to add your feed buttons in your website. thats how you can let others know about your feed.

    I added my rss.xml file to Feedburner about 8 months ago.
    I have had the button on my site since then.
    So, I don't think that my problem is "too new".
