    I was having around 46 subscribers to my blog (fluctuating a little every day), but now my Feedburner stats show 12,066 subscribers!

    All of the "fake" ones are using something called "Vidica".

    Has anyone else experienced this? I know something is wrong with all these 12k subscribers suddenly showing up... should I be worried about it??

    It is probably a bug in the system somewhere. See if it happens in a couple of days time.

    Today it shows 12,138 subscribers.

    I've made a post about my problem on the Feedburner forum, I'm still waiting for a reply.

    Has anyone else noticed such a sudden dramatic increase in subscribers? Also, does anyone else know what "Vidica" is? I did a quick search on Google, but I couldn't find any news reader called like that.

    Spam at feedburner

    on the lighter note if the feed button to show number of users be on your blog it will give a steep rise to your traffic...
