My Feedburner subscriber count dropped from 978 to 535 overnight. The
main culprit seems to be the Google Feedfetcher which dropped by 400
subscribers. Definitely a technical glitch. Can the Feedburner team
help ?

My feed url: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jeetblog

Thanks,

Abhijeet

I have same problem. My Original Feed URL is http://www.successsoul.com/feed.

I had 1218 subscribers on Tuesday. On that day, I turned off Feedsmith
plugin mistakenly. Next day my subscription count went down to 977.
Today, it is showing 650 with feedfetcher count missing(489).

I have turned on Feedsmith plugin. Is this due to the plugin or is
there an issue with feedburner? It's hard to believe that I have lost
50% of the count.

Please help.

Warm regards,
Shilpan

I've also encountered a drop of around 50% to all my subscribers
overnight.  Would appreciate any updates as to when this will be
corrected.

I also saw a huge drop in subscribers overnight. Yesterday, I had
1,469 subscribers. This morning, Feedburner is saying I have 611.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/cssnewbie/

I'm most annoyed by this because I display my subscriber count on my
website to encourage other readers to subscribe. And obviously, a 60%
drop in readership does not inspire confidence!

Same with mine, dropped from 466 to 342 -- SO annoying!  I display my
subscriber count on my website too, ugh.

Could the drop be attributed to the Olympics?  Other news?

I would guess that many people have shifted their web usage because of
the Olympics and other news.

No.  As far as I can ascertain, the drop is attributed to Feedburner
not counting Google Reader subscribers for the day.

My reader count in Google Reader was 37 that day; Feedburner showed
Google Feedfetcher subscriptions as 4 (indicating that it was probably
counting subscribers via iGoogle, but not via Google Reader).
Sliiiight mismatch.  And since Google Reader seems to account for
around half the subscribers to any particular blog these days, that
was probably it.

Here's a (very very) short article from ProBlogger on how to count
your readers through Google Reader directly:
