Thank you for this post. I was thinking about ways to do a "quick fix", but in the end it's hardwork and trial and error that will get you the traffic.

I have reached 100 page views a couple different days which to me is a good start, however I reached that after commenting to several (100+) blogs on the topic(s) which of course took considerable amounts of time each of those days. I would love to wake up and have 1000s of new subscribers, but I'd settle for starting out with just a few subscribers who will actually come back. The "hack" you talk about i personally find a waste of time, for me at least.. I recently started up a blog, not really focused on a particular subject.

I can simply load problogger.net or any other feed counter and assign my feeds url to the image. I get then a huge number of readers that change. Good proof no? Why hack feedburner?

Nobody has much respect for anybody with inflated or untrue subscribers. I just wrote a guest post about the importance of networking & having the trust and respect of others - that will get you way farther than anywhere else in my opinion - online or off. I might not have a lot, but it doesn't even matter to me. The ones I have that subscribe are awesome people i've come to know pretty well! Though it did scare the heck out me today when i went to feedburner and saw i had "0" - I didn't realize it was the daily subscriber count, not the total and thought oh no, have my last few posts been bad? Thankfully they're all still there! This is the first time i’ve heard of anyone using this to do it – most cases I’ve heard ppl just do the photoshopping of a button.

I am so sick of seeing "get rich quick" and "monetize your blog" and "how to retire in 21 days" kinds of posts... and I am sick of stumbling onto sites with no content (or worse, plagiarized content) that only exist to scam advertisers and readers...
