John Cow dot COM: More Google Punishment After PageRank Penalizing?

This problem happened quite sometime back if i remember and after days before the feeds got back to its original numbers. My feedbar shows a low number, but my account does not show any decrease in subscribers. I am not sure why you guys have. Might be what you said google is flexing its muscles on readers.

My rss subscribers also got slashed in half. It might be a Feedburner Update or glitch. But that Google flexing it's muscle to show us who's boss could be a possibility. Hmm

I didn't actually look into it much when I reported it but after reading this I looked a bit further and sure enough Google Reader are not showing up. That would explain why different blogs are seeing different drops - most of my readers are from Bloglines for instance.
I really doubt Google would have done this deliberately to prove a point. I'd be surprised if it doesn't sort itself out within a day or two.

Ahhh, glad to see it wasn`t me imagining things .. i noticed a massive drop in readers for some big names and wondered what was up. Guess the next few days things may even out.

It happened a while back, i think it's just a glitch. Give it a day or two and it should be fine :)

I blogged about this first thing this morning. Talking via e-mail Darren Rowse reckons it might be just a one-off glitch. I sure hope so!
^^ My freaked out initial reaction. Muhahahaha! ^^ ;)

It's a one off glitch, it has happened before.

I have huge fluctuations with my feedburner stats every day. Every other day I have twice as many viewers as the day before, and then the next day the number drops in half, or even more steeply. This happens every single day, and it's maddening! I haven't been able to figure the whole thing out yet. Maybe it's because I don't have that many subscribers?

Down by 50% as well :cry:
It is just a glitch, I have seen it happen before, to my blog and other blogs, but not on a large scale such as this.
Lets hope they fix it soon :roll:

My number of subscribers also reduced... from 67 to 36, so it's not just popular blogs. I would wait and see what happens.

I think that too, my rss feeds reduced considerably. But yesterday ( may be some days before ) I got pagerank 2, and last month I had unranked....I dunno what's happening with google but at least my money with adsense is safe in my account...

Yay, more spanking from Google :roll:
I remember this happened about a year ago with Feedburner and the issue was resolved after 48 hours. Hopefully this is just a slight hiccup in the system. If Google really is making changes to how numbers are calculated, they could be in for a bit of a PR (Public Relations) nightmare.
That said, they could likely survive it without any trouble. They essentially own most of the English-speaking internet.

Looks like a false alert, my feed content is back to normal!! :lol:

I saw a decrease too, but not by half. Surely this must be some technical effect of moving servers or updating their Feedburner system...

It's not a glitch, it's a "feature"! :roll:
they'll figger it out eventually

Mine got halfed to. It's not Google, Feedburner always have glitches, it's very likely just a Feedburner glitch which will fix itself soon.

Looks like a blanket glitch or is it a clampdown? Everyone's dropping! And by the way why not DROP that E somewhere in the middle in "punishement"? LOL.

my hunch would be that it's a feedburner glitch, as i've seen numbers bounce around pretty widely in the past. let's hope at least. :)

It's not like you've lost the readers anyway they're just not displaying properly in Feedburner. But the Google readers are still there so who cares.

I know my site got a page rank down, here I was thinking it was doing so much better than the months before it too. :( Glad to hear you got your feed back

Looking on the positive side of not having too many RSS subscribers is that I don't lose much anyway. :lol:
