I’m one of your lazy readers. I feel your pain though. My blog has a lot of lazy readers too.

Google feed user here. I read almost any site with a feed with google reader. In fact, I have two Google accounts, one for my erotic/nsfw browsing, and another for the rest.

Also, I can easily read feeds via Google Reader on my Treo phone! Trust me, I have enjoyed many a Lilly post on the bus, at work, on the train, in the bathroom, etc.

I feel bad telling you this after all the trouble you went through, but the truth of the matter is you have plenty of readers, it’s just that typing with one hand is a bitch.

I lurk in a feed reader but I use Bloglines.

What plugin did you use for feedburner? Feedburner is actually a different url for your feed. The plugin has to capture requests for the old link and redirect to the new one.

Changing stats providers usually changes your numbers because they count differently. It could be that the previous stats included false positives from bots and people who clicked the link instead of actual subscribers.

As far as google reader goes… yeah we have about 270. Don’t know if that’s true or not but that’s cool. We have anywhere between 500 – 1000 hits a day.. and maybe 3-7 comments. So yeah.. the visitor to comment ratio is dam near invisible. Oh well… such is life.

I’ve always subscribed to both blog and comments because most of the time I’m at work and can’t pop in. When you get all this figured out let me know *grin* because someday I’m getting a big kid’s blog instead of just the wordpress site.

I read you on Google Reader because I read EVERYTHING on Google Reader. You’re one of my three or four favorite feeds in my NSFW folder.

~ And I’m quite flattered you occasionally include my HNT pics in your tumblr ;) Thank you

I wonder about the number of Google Reader subscriptions too. I have about 140, Veronica about 250, yet I get more traffic on a daily basis. Not sure what that means..
