RSS Readers of gokubi
I couldn’t do my job without RSS and feedreaders. I read posts from about 80 feeds. Most of these are pretty low volume and may post once a week or once a month. But when they do post, they are often really great info. What a drag it would be to have to check these sites manually.
Because I love RSS so, I check my Feedburner stats regularly to see how many people have me automagically dropping into their feed readers. Here’s yesterday’s breakdown if you’re interested.
63 average RSS readers for the week is the highest number I’ve seen. I’m on a slow and steady upward trend, adding a handful RSS readers a month. Fun stuff.

Hey Steve,
That’s sort of insane to see. So there are only 6 other people in the entire world who for whatever reason, like me, are using NewsGator online as their RSS tool of choice and subscribing to your feed, and only 63 total for all RSS users. Where is everyone else who’s tracking Salesforce.com stuff, in addition to your other posts? Is that topic really that much of a long tail??? Anyway, enjoy your posts, keep it up. Best,
Chris

Steve: Since your blog is so broadly based, I subscribe directly to your CRM category since I am most interested in what you do with Salesforce.com. Those numbers don’t go through feedburner. So be encouraged that your readership is actually higher because of people that subscribe outside of your main feed.
It couldn’t hurt to burn a separate feedburner feed for your CRM category only (http://gokubi.com/archives/category/crm/feed) and ask your readers to change their subscription if that’s all they subscribe to.

Thanks Scott. I’ve given over most of this real estate to CRM stuff so I hadn’t thought to make a separate feed. Good idea!
