Thanks for the tips on this! I will use feedburner on my site soon, then I can display how many users I have on my RSS feed. I think that having an high RSS feed reader group shows that the blog has quality content and that the users are interested in reading more! Everybody should aim for that!

It makes sense not to show everyone when you only have a few subscribers. I don’t know that I would want to show how many people are on my blog either way. You have really given me something to think about.

When your RRS readership increases do you see a corresponding increase in adsense income? I heard people say that “readers” don’t click ads and was curious if this has been your experience. Thanks

Hi Hari,

Couldn’t help but notice the small discussion on adsense. Do you have any thoughts or ideas on what kind of theme, color, ad placement works best? Matt

I was talking about the 468×60 ad. If you used a 336×280 instead you would definitely get more clicks.

@Jeremy,
As always, content is king.. Write good content and readers will come your way..

@how to fall asleep easily,
Both those points are very valid.
1) If one gets good organic traffic, RSS count is not important.
2) As long as PPC income is good, RSS count doesn’t matter.

But still many use the RSS subscriber count to estimate the quality of a blog..

And, which adsense unit are you talking about ?

This is definitely a great post. Another note I want to point out is this: RSS Subscribers aren’t always too important. If you’re getting loads of organic traffic they don’t really matter anyway. Especially if you’re earning on a PPC basis because for the most part, subscriber are smart enough not to click ads.

Still though, you have a great post and a blog going here. I want to give you advice on your AdSense ad. Have you tried using the 336×280? I’ve found that it works way better than the ad format you’re using. And I mean way better.

Let me know if you need help with AdSense or anything.

I’m new to wp and blogging but I have a question: Why is it important to increase readership? What are blogs being rated for?

Yup.. You are right..

Hi,

Makes sense about having your feed in some key areas. I noticed that you have it in your header, then at the end of post, and finally where comments start. Probably all the key places a person will visit, increasing your chances of getting the subscriber…and making it easy for the reader:)

Tips are great but I really don’t know how many people really like the posts sent to their e-mail.
I personally don’t like it at all, rather stick to my Reader.
