I've been waiting to go over 100 for 4-6 weeks now, it's killing me. (If anyone wants to read a blog about investing, go subscribe with me, heh ;-) ) I guess it's like a watched pot never boils?

Joe is making an experiment this month, he's hiding the chicklet to see if it makes a difference so I'm waiting to hear from him. @SuiteJ: Yep, I wrote this a while ago and still don’t know what to think of it really!!

I see both sides, but ultimately, I think you should just whatever you "want". test it each way for a month if you're concerned, and see how much difference it made (compare). Cheers!

I guess the first rule is always write good content and someday the rest will come. I still think showing your feed readers too early isn't a good idea but you see, 21 readers isn't bad at all! It's not like 1 or 2. There's obviously no problems showing your counter...keep me posted on how everything is going with your subscriber count! ;) Tyrone: I know, I know…There are a lot of ways of seeing it.

My blogs only 32 days old in terms of blogging (bought 1 year old domain). And i get around 50 visitors a day not great but meh 21 feed subscribers goes up and down and 62 free subdomain bloggers working with us. I keep my feed burner icon there to remind the users to sign up and to signify that the site is read by others, i had myne there when it was 0, Heck if your scared about having a low number get your friends to sign up, pay people to, do feed subscription exchanges and lie to make it count if your that worried. However, if the contents good then your going to get the readers they wotn go " hey great content but look at that feedburner number im stupid thinking these posts are good" it wont happen :P theyll sign up regardless and view on regardless my firestats and google analytics prive it :) (sorry long comment) <abbr><em>Tyrone Make as last blog post..<a href=''></a></em></abbr> Even though you say were all a little like sheep and it might be best not to use a feed burner icon if you have less than 100 people becuase of the opposite effect i think that not true. think about it:

You're totally right about the fact that the number of subscribers isn't a real metric as to how many are really reading your blog. Take John Chow for example, he has 27,000+ readers but I don't think these are all daily readers. Also, are all these 27.000+ readers "real" subscribers? Anyway...!
