Has everyone else had an increase in Feedburner stats? They changed their algorithms last week.
I don't look at stats very much, and Feedburner stats almost never, but I saw an announcement from them about changing their algorithms, checked my feed and indeed there had been at least a 50% increase in subscribers in just the last few days. There's no other reason for this for me, since I haven't posted anything and I have no more links listed in Technorati. They say they've "retired" their Maximum algorithm in favour of their more complex Cluster algorithm, which "has shown itself to be a more accurate way to count subscriptions, taking into account elusive feed aliases and better reflecting the reality of how many subscribers are accessing your media. To clarify, any increases in subscription numbers aren't "new" subscribers, rather it reflects an improvement to how we calculate data for your feed." But how much trust can one put in the new figures, given that the old figures were so wrong?? It doesn't really affect me, but I thought it might be of interest to some here whose stats are tied into their revenue.
