The feed as an indicator of topic segmentation
The distribution of subscribers to a feed according to the chosen means of receiving user can be an excellent indicator of the type of people who follow your blog. Through graphic as it can, empirically, guess its 2.0 culture, age and even their life or work habits.
On top of this post you the distribution chart on my blog subscribers curiosities . As you can see, 37% of the followers of feed receive updates directly in your Google Reader. Only 24% prefer to receive your e-mail. And the rest is subscribed to through more or less known, but constitute a minority compared to the total percentage.
However, notice that I present the chart below these lines. It is up to feed my art journal, Logopress.es . 87% of subscribers prefer to receive a daily email with the latest news from the last 24 hours before subscribing to a feed reader!
Good article.
In my case, for my blogs on technology and those who are not, your rule is fulfilled to perfection. In fact, it is likely that the reason for visit / subscribe to feeds is different in the two cases. Many people do not know yet what they are and how to handle them, so if you have a blog about "non-tech" maybe we should try to form some people.
