Why Blog Readers Drop RSS Feeds

April 20, 2007 · by · in Blogosphere Issues

From ProBlogger:

“34 Reasons Why People Unsubscribe from RSS feeds:

[1] Too many posts (the post levels are too overwhelming)

[2] Infrequent Posting (or the blog is effectively dead)

[3] Partial Excerpts Feeds

[4] Blog Changes Focus (too much off topic posting)

[5] Too many posts that I see elsewhere (Redundant, Repeated or Recycled News)…”

This reinforces that there’s a “sweet spot” of blog volume–not too much, not too little.
