My Rss Numbers!

By Shannon Lilly

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Over the last week or so I have received at least 10 comments that I have deleted in regards to my blog faking how many rss readers I really have.

I think its about time to stop the nay-sayers so today I want to talk about FeedCompare.com. Its a service that lets you compare how many rss readers someone really has. Obviously if I truly was faking my rss numbers the graph would not show how many I have been getting.

You can click the graph above to see it yourself on FeedCompare.com

I also went through my subscribers list and deleted any emails that looked suspicious, in fact one person put over 150 of there own emails into my list and that’s why it boasted 700+ I have deleted those so you all could see the real true accurate numbers which are now displayed on my site.

I hope this clears the air and I hope you all understand now what is going on.

I am here for the long haul and I don’t plan on selling unless I get one really good offer and even then I may turn it down. If you have any questions or comments please do let me know, im always happy to help whenever I can!

Secondly in the comments about the subscriber counts they also mentioned the fact that my blog does not get enough comments to warrant how many rss readers I have. I agree and am puzzled as to why more people do not comment. I believe its because my page rank dropped after the domain stolen fiasco that happened a couple weeks back but I don’t know.

So if you have not been commenting then I encourage you to, you get a link back from my blog and you get to say your peace! Even if you disagree with me then please post it, we can discuss it and war it out if you like!

Thanks to all my loyal readers!

Note: I will have another video for you all soon! I am looking at buying a stand for the videos so it looks better and so I can get closer to the camera so you all can see how purty I look :)

    BTW, I forgot to mention if you start commenting on my blog you will be ahead of the game for my comment posting contest!

    I also don’t get too many comments on my blog either. My RSS count is just over 800 at the moment and my Alexa ranking is similar to your site. I think that attracting comments has to do with the content you create. If your content is thorough and comprehensive people will simply not have anything to comment about. This is why it’s probably important to leave some information out of your posts. In this way comments may become more regular. Personally, I have to be comprehensive in my writing as I want to provide as much value to my readers as possible within every single post.

    There’s been information circulating around the blogosphere, about to increase your subscriber count using netvibes… i know you read it, and it’s coincidental that your subscribers more than tripled after trying to sell your blog.

    It had absolutely nothing to do with the subscriber count, as I used feedcompare on your site to…. what it has to do with is you cheating using tricks to inflate your feedburner count…. it’s fine, when they plug the whole, it’ll be obvious…..

  5. Shannon Lilly Says:

    I can’t wait till they do plug the whole so you will see I did not use that scumbag technique.

    If I could prove my subscribers were real to all of you somehow I would trust me…

    I don’t come here to read because you have 100 subscribers, 1,000 subscribers, or a million subscribers. I come because you have a high-quality blog with good information. Your RSS count is simply frosting on the cake.

  7. Yan Shall Blog Says:

    I simply agree with Adam that the no. of comments is irrelevant to the no. subscribers. People do comments because of the quality contents of the blog and at times the open-ended question at the end of the post…
