Don’t tell me something I know : If your headline says something like “Why exercise is good for you&# or “How to increase your feed subscribers&# then I probably won’t read it.

I remember the days when traffic from the service would only have a 30% bounce rate, and while it’s around 80% now, a percentage of visitors still leave comments and sign-up to your RSS feed which is what most people want them to do.

If you are desperate to get your feed count past 1,000 subscribers then, this is also for you. What a conversion actually is varies from site to site, but for me, my conversions were product purchases and RSS subscriptions. I also put prominent RSS hints on popular pages such as the blogs list. This post is for you as well.

With over 4 million RSS subscribers according to Feedburner, it’s clear they’re not struggling. Zen Habits , with over 190,000 feed subscribers, is a blog with emphasis on productivity and minimalism. They deliver almost too much content as my RSS feed is bloated every day. Yet, they are being surpassed.
