Ever since I've added that count, my subscription rate has increased. Ditto with the comment count box on the front page with each post: adding those increased the number of comments substantially.

As copywriters, it's obvious which side we come down on... It's unfortunate that most websites are still obsessed with "driving traffic," when spending a fraction of that effort on better copy would pay off with dramatically higher profits. Hi Ryan,

It's GetResponse (a specific list tied to my blog only with 20,000 email subscribers). That, added to my Feedburner readers (over 2,000), comes out to 22,000+. However, I must update it manually every week -- I've been personally pushing GetResponse to enable such a feature. I know that Aweber offers a similar service. And you're right. 20,000 list subscribers is a lot better than just RSS readers. Yes. It’s GetResponse (a specific list tied to my blog only with 20,000 email subscribers).

Healy Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:06:08 +0000 http://www.ryanhealy.com/the-feedburner-deception/#comment-722 I assumed the email subscribers were also through FeedBurner. Are they through a different service? Also, in case there's any confusion: all things being equal, I'd definitely prefer 22,000 subscribers instead of a few hundred. :-) I assumed the email subscribers were also through FeedBurner.

By the way, Stephen is right. The number is not feedburner only. It includes my feedburner stats plus my email bloglist subscribers, too. Good point. By the way, Stephen is right.
