The percentage of readers who subscribe to your feed is probably quite small. For one blog I manage, which has very passionate readers, <a href="http://www.askshane.org/more-visitors/we-need-to-promote-rss-part-2.php" rel="nofollow">it's only 4%</a>. Basing your posting decisions on a tiny fraction of your readers just isn't a very good idea. What if the other 95% <i>loved</i> those catchup posts?

At this point though, I'm not sure paying $60/year for the upgraded stat info from FeedBurner is worth it.

In other words, the top popular items are likely to be the ones that are newest. Those are what will show up at the top of everyone's feed burner anyway. Does the paid version of Feedburner give you a way to get reliable information. So for instance, can you tell it you want to see the stats for each item from the day it was published until day 7?

Should you stop writing very popular posts because RSS subscribers don't like them? Aren't these the posts that get you loads of subscribers in the first place? I still don't see a compelling reason to buy the feedburner premium stats. It would just be another way to waste time checking stats instead of creating content.
