Anyone Know An Accurate RSS Mesuring Device?

Written by Sean P Aune  |  under Blogging

FeedburnerThis isn’t the first time that I’ve suspected the RSS feed service, Feeburner, of being on crack. As you can see from the screen shot on the right, no two days in a row show the exact same number.

  • 1/19 – 37
  • 1/20 – 32
  • 1/21 – 35
  • 1/22 – 34
  • 1/23 – 39
  • 1/24 – 36
  • 1/25 – 30
  • 1/26 – 35

I wouldn’t care so much, but back December 19th, when I set my blogging goals for this year, one of them wanted to add at least 2 readers a month to my RSS subscribers.  At the time I had 30 (approximately) readers, and I hoped to hit 54 by December, so I would kind of like a more precise idea of how I’m doing.

Does anyone have another way to measure your number of subscribers?  It’s obvious I am gaining subscribers, but it sure would be nice to know more accurately by how much.
