Are you Advertising your lack of Readers?

Many bloggers use FeedBurners FeedCounter service to display their number of RSS Readers. While this is a good idea, it can be bad for bloggers with a feed count of say below 50. I have seen many bloggers use FeedCounter on the first day of starting their blog. I took a screenshot from a blog so that I can prove my point.

This is not a good strategy for keeping your readers. Do you think anyone would like to read a blog that no one else is reading?

Most of your first time visitors will never subscribe if they see a low number of RSS readers on your FeedCounter. So I suggest that you don’t place a FeedCounter on your blog until you have a feedcount of at least 50.

The same goes for TopBlogSites, Alexa Rank, Traffic statistics or anything that shows a count.

Once you start getting good traffic, you can place all these counters to bring in even more readers.
