Woooo! Yay for us! We’ve finally managed to reach our first 1000 RSS subscribers milestone. The closer we got to this goal, the slower it all seemed to be going, but we’re there, thanks to you good people.

About 12 months ago, 6 before we started this blog, John Chow himself had just over 1000 subscribers, and look where he’s at now. Boasting nearly 15k! We wonder if we can achieve such an amount in 2008. According to Blogperfume’s cool RSS analyzing tool, we will get very close at least. (Make sure you enter other bloggers RSS feed urls in the tool, so you can snoop around and see what you’re up against :twisted: )

Our growth rate is tremendous at 25.24% last month, potentially growing to a massive predicted subscribers amount after 12 months of 13,668. Higher than Mr Chow’s 6.59% or Jeremy’s 0.39% (wtf is going on there Jeremy?!) We’ll buy that for a dollar!

Here’s a few screen shots of our own stats:

The amount of new subscribers is in the lighter color of the columns

This is the amount of subscribers vs the hits they generate

Here’s a breakdown of the numbers

One thing that kind of slipped our mind were the free RSS links we promised to a bunch of you. We’re surprised nobody reminded us of it! Anyhoo, we’ve taken the liberty of adding ten of your links to our rss footer. Not in the same fashion we did it last time because that just made thing look messy.

Thanks again everyone for reading, subscribing and commenting on our blog. Guess the undercowdog always has a shot at the title :cool:

Oh, we nearly forgot something else too…announcing the winner of the $250 Amazon Gift Voucher from our generous sponsor Adtoll! After blindfolding ourselves, we pointed out the following winner with our horns; Can’t Get Rich, whom ironically enough, just became $250 richer! Congratulations, we’ll forward your details to Adtoll so they can mail you the Amazon gift voucher asap.

Thanks everyone that tried and failed this round, but don’t despair. We’ve nearly finished some negotiations with third parties and it looks like we’ll be throwing out some massive prizes next week! (yes, you read it right, that was plural :twisted: )

Congatulations Cow! I can not wait until my blog reaches 1000 subscribers. It won’t be in less than 6 months but I’ll be happy.

Well done John. That’s incredible growth. Must say I’m impressed. I don’t have one subscriber! :grin:

Then again, I started to write properly on my blog, about three weeks ago.

Hats off to you, Cow.

I can’t figure out what to spend it on though :(. Nintendo DS? PSP? Big monitor? I just can’t decide.

I really do not think people should base their RSS prediction with that analysis site. Because I have a 300%+ raise, it predicted I’ll have like 2million in a couple months…LOL

It stated clearly that if your site is less than 3 months old, some of the prediction values might not be very accurate by reason of insufficient data. :razz:

I wonder if those figures will be close to the truths. Only future will tell….

I think someone beat you to it. Check this out:

He has a few more and his website is up for only 6 months. And if you’re already at it, check out his logo. ;-)

great achievement cow. u just need to find a shoemoney type and run a johncow vs shoemoney rss competition. you’ll be at 14k in no time.(i’m being sarcastic of course) but honestly. i think you’re blog will be one of the major players in 2008. great job!

“Our growth rate is tremendous at 25.24% last month”

That’s really awesome. I did my analysis, and last month’s growth rate for my blog was 36.13%. Now THAT shocked me. One of my resolutions/goals for the New Year is four digits in subscribers, but I’m not sure what kind of timespan I should give myself for this - this feed analysis site really helps. :)

The RSS Tool does not work. Idiot. I fell for this scam, hook line and sinker.

Visit my blog. I don’t lie like John Cow does. :twisted:

My blog’s growth rate is pretty much the same. Congrats again on reaching 1,000.

“We’ve nearly finished some negotiations with third parties and it looks like we’ll be throwing out some massive prizes next week! (yes, you read it right, that was plural :twisted: )”

Seriously, how do you manage to bribe those people into giving away so many prizes for free??
