Good suggestion. Display is crucial in order to get the best result.

Great list and, some nice inspiring designs as well.
I agree with you about the fact that design plays a very important roll in your subscriptions.

Actually the places that i mentioned in this post are common places in a blog..

The “why subscribe ?” page is a really good page to put.. Also you can push that link along with your Feed link wherever you put it..

But, too many links along with the Feed link may confuse the user.. So, if your audience in non-tech-saavy, put a “what is RSS” page and put the “why subscribe” contents along with it.. Or, you can just do away with the “why subscribe ?”

As a suggestion, you might want to align text to the left on your “why subscribe” page.. Center aligned text is a bit bad on the eyes..

I have a “Why Subscribe” page that people can go to so that i can give them reasons that they should subscribe to my blog, and in that page i also put a subscribe link for rss and email.

I’m not too sure how successful it is, but if it even converts one person into a subscriber, to me it has been a success.

What do you think about this as a placement for it Hari?

I think this is all where you can put it in your blog… As i said, you can also put it is your email signatures, forum signatures etc..

Yeah, you can add it to URL bar too and there are other places like Email Signatures, Forum Signatures.. But, these are the 6 places in ‘your blog’ to place the Feed Icon…

Thanks for using me as an example. :)

Would using autodiscovery to add it to the URL bar of a browser count as a 7th place?
