A “Boring” Story about RSS and Blogging Secret

9. June 2008 in Blogging | 8 Comments

Many bloggers run contests and ask to subscribe their rss only for the requirement of joining their contests, obviously they want to increase their rss feed count.

I have run 2 contests before, what happen after the contests? Many people unsubscribe my rss after the contests. Actually I don’t care because I will do the same like them if I join other contests which are running on other blogs.

Currently my blog has about 130 subscribers now, to me this is a big move because I only have one blog that have “so much” subscribers. I’m not high profile blogger and my blog also don’t have good contents like JohnChow.com, Problogger.net and etc, honestly I’m very appreciated for those people who subscribed my rss.

I will very proud if I have big amount of rss subscribers, sadly to tell I don’t have. Anyway, I will continue to blog whatever I write it down and want to tell. Without any traffic and big amount of rss feed count, Blogging Secret is live until I’m too boring in blogging one find day!

    Of course, it’s important to think about why you actually want rss subscribers in the first place. It might be that you’d be better off looking to get more search engine visitors rather than loyal subscribers.
