Regretting Migrating Feedburner to Google

On Friday I noticed a link when I logged into Feedburner asking if I wanted to associate my feeds with my gmail account. I like things simple, so why not right? I fell for it hook, line and sinker!

The very next day I noticed my subscribers stats plummeted! I went from having 283 subscribers to 78! WTF!?!?! I know sometimes I can be controversial, but come on! How can I have lost that many subscribers overnight?

If you subscribe to Bauer-Power, but you haven't seen your feed updating, you may want to unsubscribe, and re-subscribe using the following link: (New Feed Address)


If you all had any interruptions due to the move, I apologist. Hopefully everything in "stat-land" over at Google will get straightened out soon.

WTF is Up With Feedburner Lately?

I have noticed that for about a week or so now, my stats on Feedburner have seemed a bit lower than normal. I decided to check out my stats on Google Analytics, and my stats are staying consistent. Which leads me to ask the question.... WTF Feedburner?!?!?

It seems to me that this happens every so often, where Feedburner's stat engine takes a shit, and none of their numbers can't be trusted. Then after a few days, they snap back into place and act like nothing happened.

What I want to know is why can their parent company's analytics service continue to work moderately okay, while Feedburners stops working all the time? Why not just incorporate Google's anaytics into Feedburner's?

Anyone else having a problem with Feedburner stats AGAIN lately?

Now What's Going on With Blogger?

I posted yesterday about a problem I was seeing with Feedburner (Which I am still seeing today) and now I am having problems editing my site lay out with Blogger! Seriously, what is going on with Google's products?

What's next? Will Youtube crash today? Will all of your Adsense dollars go away? What can possibly go wrong next? (I know, I'm getting into slippery slope territory, but I don't care!)

Google! Hear me! Please get your act together! Wordpress is looking awfully attractive right about now! If only Feedburner had some competition, I might look into that too!

Am I the only one seeing this, or experiencing this? Let me know in the comments!

What's Going On With Feedburner Lately?

Today I keep checking my page stats on Feedburner and I can't seem to break 200 visits. So I start thinking, what could I have possibly done to turn off all of my loyal readers. Then I decide to hit up my backup stats checker AddFreeStats, and I am showing almost 500 page views today. What is up Feedburner?

It is almost like deja vu. Just a week or so ago, there were a number of complaints in the blogging community about a problem where everyone's RSS feed numbers being dropped almost in half!

Just take a look at this article from Deep Jive Interests:

Well, for reasons that have yet to be explained, my Feedburner subscribers were just halved. I actually noticed it first on Mike Arrington’s Techcrunch, as his numbers are “way down” too — from 600k to about 300k; however, it seems like its everwhere else as well. Mat Ingram’s blog: 1600 to 1100, and Stan Shroeder’s FranticIndustries down to 1200 from 2000. (I’d quote others, but those are the only ones whose pre-drop numbers I recall).

My RSS numbers don't appear to be affected this time (Thanks God), but this little trend of miscalculations needs to end.

Is anyone else noticing this today too? Hit me up in the comments.
