Blog subscribers

Tanja said 2 years, 6 months ago:

How can I find out how many people have subscribed to my blog? The RSS Subscribers link on the stats page doesn’t give this info.
Thanks! Tanja at blog.iJobCoach.com

At this time there is no way to view the number of people that have subscribed to the blog.

It seems this would be a really useful statistic to have. I know for mine, I changed from doing a newsletter to a blog. I cannot tell if the change was beneficial (maintain at least 60% of the original subscribers). When I post a blog, there has to be a way to tell how many people received an email. I believe that this should be priority information to add. There appears to be a lot of customers that would find this information useful.

YES! This seems like such an obvious feature, I’m not sure why its not yet available?? At one point I understand that it was possible to see the number of subscribers to a blog (I found it on a Quick BlogCast Google search), but when I contacted tech support they said it was a feature that was no longer available?? Very strange… GoDaddy, can we resurrect this feature?

Hi everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on Quick Blogcast. I am happy to pass this information along to our Development Team for review and possible implementation in the future. If you have any additional feedback, please don’t hesitate to send this directly to Suggestions@GoDaddy.com

Thanks!

I would like this option as well. For a service we have to pay for, I am highly disappointed in the lack of abilities we have. Wordpress customers have all kinds of things at their fingertips for FREE! In the past almost 3 years now, I have paid enough to have some more features.

@melindatoad

We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with Quick Blogcast. I have forwarded this information along appropriately for review.

Thank you!

I have gotten many questions from people wanting to know how many followers I have. Other free blog sites allow anyone that comes to a blog the visual of seeing followers and the ability to go to one of their blog sites. without the ability to display this I can not tell if what I am blogging about is even of value. Being in the IT world and QA I know first hand that if the business (in this case) the consumers speak loud enough it can be added to a release. Sounds like the consumers are yelling loud enough. Thanks

Kelz said 2 years, 5 months ago:

I too would like to have this added back. I get questioned all the time how many followers do I have and I can’t provide that information. I work in I.T as a manager and know that if the business speaks loudly (in this case we the consumers are the business) it should be added to a priority list of enhancements to be added to a release. If it was once there is should be simple to go back in the archives to find the code and re-apply.
Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many subscribers you can have?

Sarah Hornik said 2 years, 5 months ago:

Adding my loud yell to the mix: WE REALLY NEED THIS FEATURE. I’ve been waiting for it for years. I would really like to know who my subscribers are. It’s ridiculous that I can’t access this information. Please, GoDaddy, PLEASE give us this feature.

@dlp66,

There is no limit to the number of subscribers you can have.

For everyone else watching this thread, the subscriber information has been a hot topic for some time. I am happy to say that recent updates have enabled the ability to see not only the number of subscribers, but their email addresses as well. Check out this article:

Thanks Jason, that is good to know.

I just tried and it’s telling me I have 231 subscribers, but when I click on “Manage Blog Subscribers” it says “no blog subscribers found”. Any idea why?
