[videoblogging] Re: A vlogmap observation...
You're right, I used to think that multiple posts per week would have an effect on vlogmap, but it doesn't seem to (there's been no considerable change during vlog week so far). Although I hadn't posted any Kitkast stuff in three weeks (before vlog week) it's true that my numbers were staying constant and even increasing... so although it looks weird, I guess with people always looking for new content, the stats are pretty constant! One thing I find strange is when someone removes their feed from the public eye. Apparently there is an option in Feedburner that allows you to hide your stats from people (therefore removing it from vlogmap). Sometimes you see people's stats on vlogmap just hanging there while other stats keep going. I'm sure lots of people like to end their public stats on a high note before going to look for sponsorship!

If most of your subscribers are using iTunes you are more likely to loose subscribers if you post more often. Because iTunes will automatically unsubscribe a feed if you don't watch or listen to 5 episodes in a row. So if you start posting everyday, from say, posting much less often than that, you're likely to start losing subscribers after awhile. This is what happened to me over my rerun month in February when I was posting every day--my subscriptions fell by about 30%. I knew about the iTunes thing before, so it wasn't a big surprise. The interesting thing is that my downloads went up over that period, so I didn't feel as bad about losing subscriptions. So just because someone is subscribed doesn't mean that they are actually watching. I actually think that it's more likely that someone is watching if they download manually. Here is another thing, if you have a lot of subscribers, and you stop posting for a while you're very likely to keep most of them over time. Why? Because if you never get anything from a feed how often are you likely to even think about it to unsubscribe from it? I probably have several dead subscriptions that I am subscribed to right now that I've never bothered to remove.

Hmm... I HAVE a skateboard... I used to skate to work every morning... In the heat of summer, I often did it in a mini skirt, bikini top, knee socks and skater shoes... unfortunately, I don't do any tricks so I doubt my stats would ollie too high! Then again... we're supposed to do something dangerous this week... perhaps I should work on my tricks and break my neck trying! Hell, with this nice spring weather, it might be fun!
