The end of the first year of blogging is approaching and I thought I’d post some stats from my blog.
I have two RSS feeds:
http://www.kullin.net/feed/atom.xml
http://feeds.feedburner.com/MediaCulpa
The first feed currently has 88 subscribers in Bloglines. The second feed has 70 subscribers, according to my Feedburner stats, of which about a fourth are from Bloglines. I’m guessing (dreaming?) that the Atom feed in total has between 250 and 350 subscribers based on current research that indicate Bloglines market share to be between 25% and 33%. That would mean a total of 320-420 subscribers, which isn’t that bad actually. But that might be too optimistic considering that many readers don’t read Atom feeds. My reader stats from Feedburner:
A further analysis of the most popular posts, clearly showed that information related to the tsumani tragedy drew considerably more attention than other posts, the top post more than 12,000 click-throughs. Stats for the Feedburner feed:
