Which blogs have the most feed subscribers

Posted by Al on April 23rd, 2007 .

I’m a bit of a stat head and enjoy trawling through log files and looking at pretty graphs. One statistic that I’m particularly interested in is the number of subscribers different sites have in different niches.

FeedBurner offer a great service for managing your sites feed and provide all sorts of interesting stats. You can also put one of their chicklets on your site to boast share with the world how many subscribers your site has.

I thought it would be both interesting and fun to create a top 100 (or so) of the sites with the highest feeds, so spent Saturday morning doing a big trawl around.

I’ve only been able to list sites that are both using Feedburner and choose to make their count public, so some of the big guns like Steve Pavlina, Lockergnome, etc. are absent from the list.

I will add new sites to the list as and when I find them, so if you know of a glaring omission with at least 2,000 subscribers please let us know via a comment, I’d like to build the list up to be a top 100 and as I’ve only covered a few niches that I know of I’m sure that I’ve missed plenty of others.

Al,

I (Ask Shane) actually don’t have over 2,000 subscribers. It was an experiment for a couple of days that I’ll be writing up a full analysis of this week.

Also, I think you could pull the ones you don’t have by just taking their FeedBurner ID and swapping it into one of the images above. For instance, swapping “shoemoney” for “Tech-Buzz” in that last image gives you this:

Great list Al!

I’ve noticed in BlogLines that there are a bunch of feeds with a high # of subscribers that may not use FeedBurner or otherwise publish their stats. I think Dilbert has around 90,000 BlogLines subscribers alone (so it feasibly has more feed subscribers than TechCrunch).

Hi Anita, I’m trying to add more as I see them and you’re right it is a shame that not all sites publish the stats.

CGs feed count had a bit of a blip today and dropped by about 20,000. It has done it before and normally sorts itself out in a day or so, so I’ll hopefully add it tomorrow (just saves moving it up and down).

Thanks Papa Rage, I had a look at DZone but couldn’t see a count anywhere, am I missing something?

Comment by Papa Rage
2007-04-23 18:25:47

Oh. 3 weeks ago dzone.com changed to a new layout. the new layout does not not show the chicklet, but the layout doesn’t work for ie6 so I guess the only way to see the feedburner stats is to use ie6.

This probably explains why the numbers are down from almost 8000 in march to 3600 today.

Sciencebase has gradually climbed over the past few months and is hovering around the 2800 subscriber mark now. I’d like to break 3000 by the end of the year, but not sure where to turn to make that happen. The site was a finalist in the 2007 Weblog Awards, which gained it 100 or so, but I’m not paying to enter the Webbys…

I haven’t checked his numbers but I’m sure they exceed mine.

Putting these kinds of lists together are difficult because they’re really only representative of whatever niche you subscribe to, which in this case seems marketing heavy. It’d be interesting to see Feedburner actually release a top 100 list.

There are dozens and dozens of other blogs that outrank lots of these sites in terms of feedburner subscriber numbers simply because they don’t use feedburner in the first place.

The SciScoop Science Forum has well over 2000 members who receive regular updates either via email or rss, for instance.

The post is only meant to show sites that publicise their counts with FeedBurner. Out of interest why is it foolish to use it and is there a better tool for those sort of stats and features. Thanks.

Comment by David Bradley from David Bradley Science Writer
2007-09-10 12:42:14

It certainly does fluctuate, Tim. I had a spike at well over 2700 earlier in the summer, peaked at about 2550 middle of last week and have once again dropped down to about 2300 today. At one point over Labor Day w/e it fell to 1600 or so just for a single day then bounced back to 2450 or thereabouts.

It has to be something to do with the way Feedburner pings the different types of aggregators and readers. If lots are offline or not being run because it’s a holiday weekend, then the number falls.

Snarfer, for instance, which has Sciencebase in its science section by default, fluctuates by as much as 100% over the course of a week, which I can only assume is due to people working at a different machine when they’re out of school/work

Obviously, not anywhere near Engadget which seems to have passed the million subscriber point by a long way
