Update: The Miracle Of The Mystical Feed Count Spike
Yes, that 6,856 subscribers under the sidebar is right from feedburner.
The title says it all, it’s a massive heart stopping mystical feed count spike - that happened in just one day…
I’m not saying it’s legit though.
It looks like someone is trying to spam me using FeedBlitz, it’s not that bad. But of course, it will mislead some people and mostly advertisers. I’ll observe it for a day or two and then I’ll ask Feed Blitz about it.
For now, let me enjoy the big numbers and visualize what would happen in the near future ;-)

Man cool! When I get my blog I’ll hire you to spam me through feedblitz so I can get advertisers :) Please go on messenger!!!
Whoah, I didn’t spammed myself! Someone did.
And if I did, that would be gaming advertisers and that would crush my name to pieces.
Hey take a look at this. It might be useful http://www.affiliatelounge.co.za/articles/offbeat/feedburner-hacked-or-just-plain-cheating/
Or maybe my post gaved those spammers an idea to give you 5000 more subscribers ;) If I really gaved them an idea to do this then you are happy to have me as a friend :P Man you should add one more fule for increasing feed readers: Hire someone to spam your account (like they did to me :) ) and enjoy the 6000 subscribers fr a day ;) Sign in messenger with your id and well talk about this!
hahaha! that’s a big leap! yeah, someone must be spamming you.
*mouth waters*
Holy crap Carl! Savour it while it lasts ;)
Dang! They just fixed it http://feedblitz.blogspot.com/2008/01/feedblitz-metrics-stats-spike.html
checkout forums.feedburner.com. There are others reporting this same problem today. I am sure it will be fixed by tomorrow ;)
I found that my feed count doubled when NetNewsWire became free, since it’s one of the default feeds :)
I had the same thing happen to me. My subscriber count more than doubled, taking me completely by surprise. I checked Feedburner, and sure enough, the culprit was Feedblitz. I knew I didn’t have the number of subscribers via Feedblitz that Feedburner was reporting, especially since I stopped using Feedblitz for new subscribers!
But still, it’s VERY NICE to stare at those misleading numbers! So I know what you’re experiencing. :)
that’s a pretty solid number
ohh, that was really a heart stopping count carl!
Same heart-stopping moment here. From 150 the other day to 900 yesterday to 1600 today. I love the sudden increase LOL
It was nothing more than a computer bug(glitch).
