Damn, I still need to get that plugin done. Life gets in my way.

I’m still learning about FeedBurner as I go.

I honestly doubt people would go through all the trouble of subscribing to this blog then un-subscribing just to read one post, so keep the hope alive.

Second, your site has already shown that it is much more than just “link bait”. If anything, I would think of ways that you could keep more of those visitors by offering a list of your “most popular posts” or some other incentive (free WP theme, plugin, et cetera)

Third, I believe that the Feedburner numbers will always fluctuate because (I could be wrong) feed readers may not always be pinging your feed for new content if users do not see any new posts from your feed. For example, wait until tomorrow and see how much your numbers change after this post. There’s a good chance you’ll see the numbers spike up a bit.

I just think one needs to be careful of becoming a digg junky and trying to get the quick fix. The goal, as Paul states, should be a more sustainable user base.

I want all the traffic we can get, from digg or elsewhere, but I won’t compromise this blog to get it.

Amen to that. And people wonder why I’m not very fond of Digg. Quantity may have a quality all its own, but I’m not going to engage in any “drive-by” practice – whether it be writing an article, commentary or review, or building a Web site. If I did, everyone would be denied the benefit of a quality work, and I’d appear to be a selfish pig.
