Ghacks has finally passed the 10000 RSS Feed Readers mark which is a huge milestone for this website. I’m pretty excited about this figure and hope that it will stabilize there quickly. It usually goes down a bit on weekends and comes back on weekdays.
The Feed Analysis that I performed about three months ago was dead on the point though. You might remember that it offered predictions of the coming three, six and twelve months and it predicted 10000 RSS Feed Readers in less than three months.
I wanted to reach 10000 RSS Readers before the third anniversary of Ghacks which is on October 3rd and I’m quite happy that I reached all the goals that I wanted in this year early on. The next big figure that I want to reach in 12 months is 20000 RSS Feed Readers. That’s a huge number and I have to get some good coverage on popular websites to reach it.
Do you have any suggestions on how to increase the RSS Feed Reader count further? I do not want to raise it the way many make money blogs did it who gave away prices to random new feed subscribers. I want real readers who like Ghacks and join the discussion every now and then.

Gratulation Martin =)
Nice Work.
Good work. I sometimes look at the count and I really like to see it going up.
This website deserves it!
Hehe, I’m one of those 10k :P
Congratulation Martin, nice milestone. No need for free stuff to raise the number of readers, just keep your articles up :)
Good news! Well done

Keep up the good work Martin. :)
Congratulations! :) It seemed to hover just below 10k for some time before leaping above it.
This is great!
My congratulations!
As for further increasing – just do what you do. You doing good job, I think, and you must know it :)
More good posts -> more links -> more subscribers.
Good job! I can completely understand why you’ve accomplished this feat. I am one of those 10k, and I have recommended your site to several of my friends.
Congratulations! I’m glad to help you toward this milestone, and I wish you luck toward your next!
Good stuff. Great site, one of my more favourite blogs I read all the time. Keep up the good work, keep those posts coming along.

I love this site and I’m glad you’re doing well. I’m still dwindling at just over 1k… but my site is only 5 months old — so I have to be patient :)
Just keep doing what you’re doing. There’s a reason people are signing up.
I personally would like to see some Ubuntu or KDE specific posts. I know that a lot of people are into Macintosh as well. Those are two areas that you could expand into, but not at the expense of your current work.
