I have feedburner on my forex blog and I notice it likes to jump around with the number of subscribers a lot... is there and other rss service that keeps track of users better and has the option to display the button on the site telling people how many readers you have?
To be honest, I'm not sure if it's possible to avoid this jumping around. As I understand, number of subscribers may depend on various factors - for example, if a reader has opened an RSS reader this very day and a feed content has been requested.
RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and videoi in a standardized format. An RSS document is full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, mobile device or any computerized Internet-connected device. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's URI The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.
