I gave this competition a little boost with a John Cow review. That combined with quite a few backlinks resulted in about 70 entries.

People had to subscribe by email to enter so this took my subscribers from the 60 ish mark upto around the 130 mark.

This stayed steady until… guess when :) ? yep! after the contest ended. No surprises. As I said in a recent post – contest subscribers can be temporary as a large amount of the time they subscribe, check result and say bye bye!

With RSS this doesn’t happen so much assuming the content is good but with Email subscriptions, I would imagine a lot more people unsubscribe as it is quite annoying getting constant email updates.

Anyway, subscribers now down to 107 and I would imagine will continue to drop!

Farewell Temporary Subscribers…

Next time I’ll make people subscribe by RSS!
