Some time ago I was one time dedicating lots of time to another weblog that I have, but the RSS subscriptions were not going up so speedy. It was unusual because the articles I was one time writing were being featured on some high authority blogs, meaning that people were reading them but not subscribing to the weblog.
After some time I decided to redesign the sidebar, & I included an RSS subscription button on the top right corner of every single place. RSS subscriptions skyrocketed that exact same day. Prior to those changes I noticed that I only had an RSS subscription button on the home page. People that were coming from other blogs directly to an news story page, therefore, were not even seeing the choice to subscribe.
Make sure you do not forget to do the same. The best places to put the RSS subscription button are the header (like Tech-crunch) & the top of the sidebar. Also in case you are using only a text link to your RSS feed perhaps you ought to thinking about adding a huge icon next to it (feel free to download the I used in this post). Visitors need to be able to see where they need to click to subscribe in a matter of seconds, otherwise they will skip it.
