I decided to do my weekly update today rather than wait for the weekend. And a bunch of things have been going on since my last update and I figured I’d keep you guys entertained (or bored) with this post.
I Lost 500+ RSS Feed Subscribers! – Well, not exactly. Yesterday I finally hit 800+ subscribers until I checked today, it dropped to 278! The reason is I finally made the switch from my Feedburner account to Google and apparently my RSS Feed numbers are going to be extremely low on all my blogs for the next 72 hours or so. That is perfectly fine and everything but it just brings me to my next point/update.
Of course, after I write this entire post it just went back to normal. Dammit!
Password to Protected Posts On Hold – Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be too long. I was planning on sending it out this week (yesterday actually) until I logged into my Feedburner account and didn’t have access to the e-mail subscribers due to transition. Once I get a hold of that information, I will send it out within the next day or two.
Link Exchange Anyone? - A few people have contacted me with link exchange inquires and I haven’t gotten back to them yet. Before you jump the gun, I’m mainly looking for link exchanges with my other blog iBlogtoBlog.com which would fit with entertainment, movie, music, sports type niches.
I’ll consider a few link exchanges here but please don’t contact me about it if your blog is brand spanking new. I’m going to be picky and look for blogs in a similar niche with the same type of quality links, traffic, subscribers, etc.
Recommended Wordpress Theme Designers? – Anyone have any recommendations? It doesn’t have to be an actual designer but if you know of any premium themes that would fit nicely with my site, that’d be great. I’m looking for something that would handle about the same about of ads I currently have and hopefully a 2-3 column template.
Most premium themes have referral and affiliate links and if I go with your recommendation, I’ll sign up through your affiliate link!
FREE Blog Headers Are Going Great! – I have only been able to design like 4-5 so far but it’s been going pretty good for the most part. I’m probably going to be extending this offer past what I originally said but I have yet to determine the date.
Site Flipping Team – I mentioned this in yesterday’s post but if you are still interested, please e-mail me by March 7th so we can all get this going already.
For the original people that expressed interest, if I do not hear from you by then, I will assume you are no longer interested.
Joint Ventures - If you aren’t interested in the site flipping group, I’m willing to partner up for a joint venture on a site. A few of you guys have already contacted me on a few and just as long as you guys stay committed, then I will definitely be interested in partnering up.
It’s good to do this because that way I have someone kicking my ass so I don’t get lazy and procrastinate and I can do the same too. I mean, no one wants the GOYFA certificate again!
Another Password Protected Post Coming Soon! – I was going to post a password protected post yesterday but since I didn’t have access to my e-mail subscribers, that basically defeated the purpose of even posting it. I’ll have it up pretty soon once I get my freakin’ Feedburner subscribers list.
And again, only my e-mail subscribers will receive the password to the protected posts.
FREE Advertising at DatMoney?! - Technically, yes, free. Unfortunately, it’s in a form of a contest that I’m sponsoring on another blog. They also have some other interesting prizes and you can check out the contest here.
I’m sure I’ll have more updates but in the meantime, I’ll try to get some more helpful posts written so you guys can actually go and try them out for yourselves.
that was big,, I thought it was for real to lose 500 in one night,, it sounds like you were even annoyed to gain them up again,, hahaha
about site flipping, I only heard about this from you with the recent post,, I’ quite busy to research about it now, hopefully you can give a quick instruction about it and how it could benefit you..
Yeah the changeover to Google and the inaccurate stats for feeds are annoying, plus they don’t seem to list live hits anymore. I’m just hoping that once it’s all done that they make some improvements so that the whole changeover is worth it for us bloggers.
Losing the subs on the move has happened to a lot of people. You should get most of them back, but I lsot a few for good when I moved a while back.
On the theme, check out studiopress.com It the old REvolution Templates updated, but there are some really nice ones in there. I think you have to pay for each one individually now, but when I got a hold of them it was version one and I bought the developer pack which gives me all of them even whent hey are updated. There are some decent designs with those and seems to me like google just loves them.

Losing so much subscribers at once looks like a big hit even though you knew that would happen. I don’t want such changes in my feedburner stats =)

I guess it did happen to most of us and I wonder why feedburner isn’t doing anything about it.

I must say that 800+ RSS is quite good archievement. But what is the nature of those problems with google? Does this make Your blong less popular among readers?
