Followers/Email subscribers How many do you have?
I was checking my Google feedburner subscribers today and found out that I have 52 subscribers (
) But the problem is that only 32 of them have verified their subscriptions while the rest have forgotten to complete of the final step thus do not receive the email notifications
Does Feedburner provide any way by which I can send them a reminder mail to verify their pending subscriptions and start receiving updates of my blog posts?
Also I would like to know, just out of curiosity, how many total active subscribers/ followers do you have for your blog 
Reason: Got Help, only answer the curiosity question now :)
Did a check once again..
From 32, the number has gone up to 69, yay.. My Yatra Diary... has 69 active subscribers now!
@All others, pls check out yours too and do let us know here :)
This is exciting thread. I have 1268 subscribers. Are you guys checking in webmaster tool or feedburner stat? Keep in mind they would give separate figures.
@SBasu I am checking in feedburner. Never checked abt this in webmaster.. Which is more reliable and which one of the two shud be used?
Anyways, 1268 is AWESOME!!! Congrats!
I used to have 2000 Email subscriber on my wordpress.com blog... and now when I have switched to self hosted wordpress.org i have around 30.

Isnt there a way so that the all old feed subscribers can be retained even after a domain change?
2000 is huge! It must really hurt to lose that many a readers.. But I am sure, its just a matter of time before you gain them all back again.. :)

My previous blog was on Wordpress.com and then I moved to self hoste wordpress.org. I downloaded all the subscribber details (actually just 2000+ emails) in a CSV file. Now I do not know how do i get them back on my new blog as Feedburner does not allow you to import subscribers.
I really regret losing (almost) 2K+ subscribers. It was a main reason why I delayed in switching to a self hosted domain. Moreover a significant amount of teh subscriber were regular readers who often commented on my post and provided me feedback.
Any suggestions for how could I get them back??
@Arti feedburner oscillates much compared to WMT. Always go by WMT for email subscribers.
For e-readers unfortunately we have to reply on Feedburner stat, take weekly average as the number as opposed to a number ona specific day
Google Friend connect is finally working on WP again! Sigh .. Lost all my old followers when I migrated from Blogger 1 month back. And Friend Connect Started working just one week back. So far so good.
That is sad... Dont worry, all your followers will surely come with time, all the best! :)
Feedback burner stats says I have 200 subscribers but only 4 e-mail subscribers.
@The Fool Great stats! Esp the subscribers!
How are you checking the subscribers and email subscribers seperately in feedburner? Am confused and not getting the difference?
@Arti - There is some details tab in the fee bruner that shows the e-mail suscribers.
@Leo Never mind.. When did you put that widget on your blog? Waise bhi, your poems are best enjoyed on your wonderful blog rather than in anybody's inbox.. ;) I think people prefer it that way more :)
What does it matter when I put it? ;) :P I got 2 active subscribers.. thats the point ;)
i have 83 subscribers .
Amazing! In fact, You deserve so many more! I wish the numbers keep on increasing for you :)
My followers are increasing day by day, i am not sure of the subscribers :)
From 29 to 44 followers, it is a gr8 achievement i suppose from the time this thread has begun, regarding subscribers i don t have any idea how to check it out.
@Umeshji Yes, glad to see the steep rise in the follower count.. indeed its a gr8 achievement.. Congrats :)
For Subscribers, pls check it out by logging in, into your feedburner account or Webmaster tools Umeshji and do update here.
got some 419 followers and 500+ email subscribers when i saw it last time :D ...blog is not active these days ...so i guess it will reduce in time
Woohoo! Those are awesome numbers to have! Go on.. Activate your blog, there are so many out there waiting for it!!
Arti i have Zero subscribers, i don t wanna to subscribe to this which is linked to adsense account i suppose, it slows down the loading of the site considerably. I am extremely happy with fast loading of my blogspot
73 here. I know it's difficult to understand for non techie people, thus i have created this tutorial - hope this will help, feel free to share this with your unverified subscribers to help them out.
seeing the nos here... feels crazy 
65 subscribers and 54 followers....
Well, a lot of people just come and go
A lot of them subscribe and forget to validate
A lot of them do not have time to do that extra work (they keep visiting remembering the url)
Its a funny world out there 
I am also wondering y i have a huge difference b/w verified and un-verified feed subscribers. I have in total 2240 subscribers in which nearly 1718 subscribers are verified. I am also thinking of emailing them to verify their subscription. Let's see what will be the outcome.
its doesn't matter :)214 followers and 227 reader :) as of march 2012 :P
pulling this thread up. feedburner seems to have added many new features and changed a few things. i have 125 verified on feedburner and nearly 100 on friendconnect.
from the discussion here, i guess that 125 does not include the 100 on GFC.
however, if i look at the feedburner breakup, it lets me see the number of browser based rss feeds, the number of email subscriptions, and the number of feedfetcher subscriptions. my guess is that the friendconnect subscription - which has now been integrated with google reader items - is included in feedfetcher stats in feedburner. my GFC number tallies exactly with the feedfetcher number.
would be great to hear back conclusively from those in the know.
Will need to check more on that, let me see if I can extract something meaningful from my side. 
Anyways, your reader stats are wonderful and your blog is rocking! Excellent numbers there! Good luck!
Well,
225 followers and 210 feed subscribers ...
2 Subscribers on Email. 5 on Google connect. Someone wants tips on how to save your blog from your college friends? :D
Those are good numbers to begin with, Vineet! Keep Going!
And dont think I need any tips, I am already happy anonymous
My feedburner shows 329 subscribers, e-mail subscribers as 15 and another 4 e-mail subscribers not verified.
My google friend connect number is 242 and FB networked blogs is 55. Don't know if there is any link there.
Great going, TF! And you only deserve so much more.. Keep at it!
Dont know if there is any relation between Google friend connect and FB netwrked blogs though my feeling is that there is not, still cant say anything for surety because I myself dont use the latter.
Thanks, Arti.
