Knoxify

Before you new­bies leave for fear of the word “feed”, read this: feeds are “used to pub­lish fre­quently updated con­tent includ­ing, but not lim­ited to, blog entries, news head­lines, and pod­casts.” Got that?

Here at Knox­ify we pub­lish our ever fluc­tu­at­ing feed sub­scriber total in the footer. Go ahead, take a look. That num­ber may not mean much to the aver­age Joe, but when bro­ken down with Blog Perfume’s Feed Analy­sis tool, the sta­tis­tics of it all begin to take shape.

In a nut­shell, Monday’s are good and Tuesday’s are bad for the Knox­ify guys. By look­ing at the below chart, you can see that our Tuesday’s are stale in sub­scriber count.

At any rate, our sub­scriber base and over­all hits back to the site are grow­ing. Last month, Knox­ify grew by 11.76% and is pro­jected to have over 50 sub­scribers within the next 3 months. As of today we’re ring­ing in at 45 sub­scribers so 3 months may come sooner than we think.

So, what does all of this mean?

Real­time data is only as real­time as you make it. By using feeds and a feed reader, you can receive instant updates on your favorite sites. Or, if you pre­fer the sound of “you’ve got mail”, you can sub­scribe to e-mail updates that will clog your inbox with Knox­i­fied goodness.

With our feed grow­ing we can only hope that the less than “super” users are catch­ing the RSS bug.

For the Knoxville blog­gers out there, toss your Feed­burner URL into the analy­sis tool and see where you stand.
