So only recently have I been paying attention to the RSS capabilities of my blog. I recently installed FeedBurner, which helps in tracking my readership. Well, another thing I did is install a module that lets me see how many people are currently viewing my blog. Usually, at any given time, I’ll see one search bot and one guest user (you). After my recent request for my readers to subscribe to my blog, I’ve noticed something.
Whenever I make a post, I see a spike of maybe a dozen visitors within one minute of making the post. Neat!
As a side note, my blog continues to suffer from periodic lag caused by FeedBurner’s tracking script. I’ve never seen this be an issue with Google Analytics. Grr. I continue to use it because the stats FeedBurner tracks are more granular than Analytics.
Are you one of my RSS readers? If not, click on that orange RSS icon! 🙂
