I still like reading them, but I don't get to them as much as I use to because I'm looking for other information. I have also noticed that a few of these sites have changed direction.

I'd been thinking John was on a vacation and was just sharing with us what he was seeing, because he's had some guest bloggers lately. As for the Pro, it seems like he's been making he interview rounds, so some of his best stuff is on other blogs these days. Personally, I think that every once in awhile it's okay to go off topic, as long as you can stick somewhat with what it is you've originally said you're about.

I do get tired of subscribing to a blog for a certain topic only to have them take off somewhere else or worse yet, stop updating regularly. Of course they complain about traffic but don't seem to think it's their fault. I think you are quite right.

That's why the number sometimes drops from day to day, but then goes back up. FeedBurner tells you how many people have read your feed on any given day.

As far as measuring your own traffic, I recommend using Google Analytics or Site Meter. To get a general idea of the amount of traffic other sites are getting, you can use their Alexa rank (alexa.com) for example. Anything under 500,000 (in my opinion) means a site is getting decent traffic. Mitch: You can track your RSS subscribers by logging into your FeedBurner account.

Heck, for that matter, how does one go about checking their own traffic, as it pertains to their RSS feed? I know how many physical bodies come to my blog, but not how many might be subscribing to the feed. Technorati only tells me about others who have joined them. Any ideas?
