Something odd happened to one of my FeedBurner feed last week. As you can see in the feed subscribers graph below, there are two big spikes — Sunday and Tuesday. I have no idea why. The rest of the week is about right. It seems really odd there would be big spikes for feed subscribers. What happened after the spikes? Did all those people unsubscribed from the feed?

Hi Ken,
If you click on a single day in the graph and then click on the subscribers menu option on the left (or vice-versa), you should be able to see how many subscribers came in from each source (online aggregators, readers, email,etc).
That way, you can tell if on either or both of those two days one there was a spike in one particular aggregator/source's reported numbers and attempt to find out why that may be the case
Jessiec, thanks for the info. I did not know you could drill down on a single day. Pageflakes was responsible for the two spikes. On both of those days, there were over 120 Pageflakes subscribers and zero on other days. I have not used Pageflakes before so I will have to take a look at their site to find more info about the spikes.
