At my early blogging time I always subscribe to the newsletter but then I become overload with information. Hence I’m out of focus. I don’t know what actually I want to do. Then, I plan well. I unsubscribe newsletter that do not relate to my niche. I just focus on my niche.

We blogger-types tend to be have sometimes unrealistic and higher than normal standards when it comes to what we want. (Full vs. Partial feeds is a religious issue with us, and that’s kinda amusing and sad. It’s like serious throwdown time when that conversation starts. Doesn’t that strike anyone as odd, regardless of position on this issue?)

I’m a relatively new blogger (less than 2 months) but have been reading (and subscribing) to many blogs in my niche for some years.

I chose to offer only a partial excerpt via my RSS feed because my niche area (food blogging) is, so I’ve read many times, particularly prone to blog scraping, as the content, especially if it’s recipes or restaurant reviews, is the kind of content regular sought after via search engines.

It seems that partial excerpts are off-putting to subscribers (though I was hoping many subscribers use their RSS readers like I do, as a way of finding out about latest posts rather than the only means of reading the new content).

Any thoughts on this dilemma?

Thanks

i think website content as well as the theme also makes a difference in it.

That is the heart of the matter. People don’t understand how competitive it is out there. It is VERY hard to get readers. I mean real readers. This is WAY harder than people let on.

I hope I can solve the problem with my blog because no matter what I do or how much traffic I get my subscriber count never goes up than 10, I don't know what to do. Mohammad Afaq http://afaqtrafficblog.blogspot.com

I lost readers because I changed my domain name ;) though it’s been a few days and all. I guess I might go off topic here and there though. Haven’t really found my niche yet.

I used to check my mail for every 2 hours…
I feel very happy if my mail box glows.. :D why because my g.f used to send very beautiful mails..

Later on i am getting many mails from different websties… like ” new comment posted” etc etc.. it creates irritation for me to check those mails..
I lost my happiness even my mail box glows… :(

due to this reason i unsubscribed all ………..

Now i can see only mails from my g.f :) and mails few mails from official blogs like labnol, seomoz and problogger….

I don’t think I would unsubscribe for too many posts – I just wouldn’t read them all. I think 2-3 posts per day on a blog like this is plenty. On a tech blog though, like Gizmodo, it’s fine to have 10+.

Another great list. I have found my blog subscriptions (Feedburner) decrease dramatically if I fail to post anything new for over a week.
