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. A year or two ago I did this for a popular topic – how to increase feed subscribers – but in a way that was new and promised value.

I’m actually writing this sentence (not the post) on March 11th 2010 sitting on a feed count of 4,717 subscribers (I’ll explain this later). My feed jumped from 8,500 to over 11,500 according to Feedburner. to the RSS feed. As for Feedburner: every day my feed count changes by 1-2k. Here’s how.

I ran a DJ blog which I later let die due to other interests and I even ran ViperChill for a year (a long time ago) without getting one single comment or feed subscriber. Naomi Dunford at Ittybiz doesn’t show her feed count (though it’s high) but instead shows the number of monthly visitors she gets in a nice graphic.

I of course like seeing the traffic go up, but I’m more focused on building a community than seeing some nice spikes in my Google Analytics account. I want to help you live it too, so make sure you grab the feed. I reiterate each month that I like to look at these stats but I don’t have goals for them.

Master the news feed algorithm. Because Facebook filters what appears in a user’s news feed based on comments, shared friends, recent interactions – the more hands you get on something, the more likely it is users are seeing your brand and content. If you really want to succeed in Digg, then treat it like a real life social community.

First, if you look at their traffic stats with Compete you can see that they have traffic spikes and dips at around the same time: Then, looking at feed subscribers , despite the large difference at the start of the graph, their growth rate is on a very similar consistent rise. This isn’t just some coincidence.

Finally, there was something about his feed subscription box which just didn’t look right. Now his content is far more targeted to his community and people are getting a lot more value out of his writing.

Their list posts have gone hot on StumbleUpon and they may even have had a big-blog mention and suddenly their feed count looks impressive. In order to get mentions on other blogs then you need to be focusing on being involved in the communities for that industry online and providing the very best content that you can.

Leave Blog Comments Most blog comments are nofollowed (this means search engines aren’t supposed to give weight to the link, though I believe Yahoo and Bing still do) so they don’t provide much link juice directly. Flippa is a place for people to buy and sell websites and has a very interactive community.
