People always talking about how to increase their RSS subscriber. Daniel wrote a great article about 50 Simple Ways to Gain RSS Subscribers, which cover all basic things that everyone need to do to get more subscribers.

Besides these 50 tips, i found 2 plugins which will help us in getting more subscribers also. They are Comment Relish and FD Feedburner Plugin.

Comment Relish is a Wordpress plugin that will send an email message to readers who comment on your blog who have never commented before. You can customize the email message and also add a link to your Feedburner acccount. By doing so, the commentators maybe will subscribe to your blog through the link.

FD Feedburner Plugin will redirects the main feed and optionally the comments feed to Feedburner.com. By doing so, your Feedburner Feedcount will increase even readers subscribe to your category feed or comments feed. This plugin is easy to setup. Simply activate it and give it your Feedburner feed URL.

Although these tips and plugin will help you to increase your subscribers, but the most important is you provide original and good content.

So, do you like my post? If yes, why not subscribe to my RSS feed?

There are some bloggers who don’t want to show their Feedburner’s Feed Count to visitor. This may be due to their blogs still new and don’t have much subscribers. Normally these bloggers will simply replace the FeedCount widget with an a link to their Feedburner link.

Unfortunately, this method don’t really “hide” the feed count. Why i said so? It is because people can still view your feed count by using this url:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/feedID

Simply replace the feedID with the target Feedburner account ID and you will see the FeedCount widget appear in front of you.

So, how you hide this number before you have enough confident to show off your subscribers? Go to your Feedburner account page, and browse to the Publicize tab. After that, go to FeedCount and deactivate this service.

Tips: Bloggers are advised to hide their feed count before they get 300 subscribers.
