Most bloggers nowadays use Feedburner to monitor their feed statistics. While the tracking their is extremely useful by itself, a few enterprising web developers have used the Feed Awareness API to add even new functions to Feedburner. The one program that stands out from the rest is BlogPerfume’s Feed Analysis.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
It makes lots of fancy charts. No, really, that’s pretty much it. Still, those charts are exceedingly useful for seeing how your subscriber count has risen over time. It also predicts your subscribers after 3/6/12 months if you keep expanding at your current rate, and it’s fun to look at approximately where you’ll be in the future (apparently, I’ll have 2.5k readers within a year. Remember that the metric for determining blog popularity is whether your RSS count can be expressed in “k.” If you can, then you are automatically a top blogger).
My description doesn’t do it justice, so I’ll let these pictures do the talking:
Even if you’re not a stat junkie, you need to check Feed Analysis out.

These numbers are actually looking pretty good but how long you actually take every day trying to get traffic to your web site? I’m talking about is social networking, blogging, social media, and other things. I know I am spending around 9 1/2 hours a day making my blog better and trying to get more traffic.

@Franklin: I dunno – I’ve never really tracked it. A couple of hours per day, I suppose.
9.5 hours takes some dedication, though.

That really is a cool app. I’m very relaxed about my blog, so my stats are nothing to write home about, but it is a very cool way to see how things progress over time.

I live in the “Now”.. My subscriber number one month ago is history.. As long as the trend is positive, then the blog will keep growing.
I don’t need a line graph to show me that trend. I can do the math adding and subtracting (+1 For the win!) in my head.

The predictions are pretty cool. You should test how accurate the predictions are. Or use them as goals to beat. I am definitely going to start using this tool. Thanks for the good post.

Well, the projections are based on rate increase compounding monthly … which is absurd.
The causes of subscriber increases aren’t based on overall percentage increases, but specific subscriber increases. Basically the approach is wrong.

Yeah, I’m using it almost on a daily basis to spy on my competitors
I could see their most traffic-getting days and do some blog commenting on those blogs.
What about you?

I also took a couple months off of blogging. It can be difficult at times. After a nice break though you can come on even stronger; a new perspective = don’t give up. This is a nice one!
