I googled about unsubscriptions and found this post. It relieved my mind. Personally, I’ve noticed the increase of post frequency directly related to unscribers. I post 3-4 times a week (consistiently) but only for the last 4 or so months when blogging became more serious. I would say my unsubscriptions/subscriptions are even at the moment but I only have 180 subscribers, although my stats are quite impressive so subscriptions aren’t everything.

Thanks for the post.

I use Feedblitz for my email subscription management. When someone unsubscribes, it asks them to choose from a list of reasons why they are removing themselves from the list. A helpful little feature
Thanks a lot

I run a cartoon blog and found emailing users after they unsubscribe (just once) to get their feedback worked quite well – have since adjusted the frequency of mailing (although it would be great if there were an option for a weekly digest on feedburner!) and also tweaked the kind of content a bit and the drop-off rate subsided by about 40% from the previous rate – don’t pester unsubscribers but it’s generally worthwhile politely asking for feedback I think.

Thanks for the great tip on monitoring the number of users that unsubscribe, this will come in handy…

I was thinking that there is some wrong with my blog either the theme or maybe I diverted a little bit on the theme of my blog. Anyway I also don’t worry much because those who subscribe are much more than those who unsubscribe. All bloggers have this problem anyway but still we should monitor what is really the cause. In my experience, the more frequent I post, the more there are unsubscribers. Maybe they think they are being spammed.
