UPDATE: This list is no longer accurate. Google updated the numbers last night and they all changed pretty dramatically. I’ll update the list later this week when I have time.
Darren Rowse on ProBlogger showed me how to look up how many subscribers I have on Google Reader.
So, I went looking for some numbers.
Keep in mind that these are ONLY for Google Reader, which is only a small percentage of subscribers (although a growing number).
First, though, let’s look at the TechMeme Leaderboard. The numbers of Google Reader subscribers are in parenthesis.
1. TechCrunch (Google Reader says: 117,690 subscribers on one URL, 11,470 on another — this is for US site)
2. New York Times (33,159 for front page, 5,298 for top 10 most emailed items)
3. Engadget (146,449, it lists a number of others too — compare to only 28,289 for Gizmodo)

MediaBlitz has its own analysis of the TechMeme leaderboard numbers. Basically it looks like only 5% of the average blog is read in an RSS reader so multiply these numbers by 20 and you’ll probably get close to real traffic levels.
Tim Bray reminds us that these numbers are ONLY for people who subscribed to the feeds in Google Reader. On his server he has 1,455 subscribers for his RSS, 4,403 for his atom feed, while Google Reader reported 3,690 for his feeds.
I’d love to know how many subscribers you have. Can you look your numbers up and put them in a comment? Remember to add up all the various feeds you have (that’s how I got these numbers above).
Enjoy!
The next step? What are you learning here? For one the BBC is one of the only sites that puts “about News Feeds” next to all of its feed icons (they link to a well done page about how to use News Feeds). Any wonder why they get so many subscribers?
UPDATE: Fred Oliveira says that Feed Burner is reporting to him that he has 2,445 subscribers from Google Reader but Google Reader says that Fred only has 524 subscribers from Google Reader. So, these numbers may be WAY off. But they are the data I had to work with. Would love to hear your stories. Tim Bray says he’s seeing a discrepancy too.
UPDATE #2: I might have missed some of your numbers. I tried to find them all, but please correct what you find if you find some that I missed.
UPDATE: #3: One thing you can’t look up? How many subscribers you have to my Google Reader Shared Items Blog.
UPDATE: #4: TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington was doing something similar. I need to go to dinner, otherwise I’d put my list in a spreadsheet like that.
Couldn’t find the number on Google Reader itself (how do you get those, Robert?), but Feedburner reports 2,445 readers from Google Reader for my blog.

IMO, Robert, this isn’t relevant to mainstream readers and is reflective of technical audiences, for the most part.
I don’t use a reader at all and I’ve asked all my friends and my kids and they don’t either.
I have the sites I visit regularly saved as organized favorites using the Yahoo tab feature. One click to a particular folder and they all open up.
I’ve tried the Google reader, but I’d rather go directly to the website.
By this, it looks like newspapers have a small percentage of the traffic that places like TechCrunch and Digg get. I don’t believe it. Again, I think it’s skewed to favor technical sites because of the techie people who read them.
My favorite news sites I don’t even have in my Yahoo tabs system. I look them up in the url address field by opening the dropdown and clicking on the one I want to visit. You techie folks probably think I’m crazy, but I bet the majority of the public does the same.

Hi5 Codes — You’re being very short-sighted. If used properly, a good RSS feed will bring MORE visitors to your site. For example, I follow about 250 feeds and keep up with them every day. There is NO WAY I’d visit all 250 sites each day, but I happily click-through when I find a good item (such as the one we’re on right now).
If your site found its way into my feedreader, I’d see ALL of your new content every day. Otherwise, I might visit your site once every x days, when I happen to think of it.

Hi5 Codes — You’re being very short-sighted. If used properly, a good RSS feed will bring MORE visitors to your site. For example, I follow about 250 feeds and keep up with them every day. There is NO WAY I’d visit all 250 sites each day, but I happily click-through when I find a good item (such as the one we’re on right now).

Hey Robert – I commented over at TC but thought it couldn’t hurt to mention it here as well. My blog ‘Dumb Little Man’ has a Google Reader subscriber count just north of 53K.

Ain’t there no love in the ‘hood for poor old Coding Horror? Et tu, Scoble!
I have 32,379 subscribers by this metric, which means I am now officially more important than the front page of the New York Times!
TAKE THAT GRAY LADY!

Cool, i just finally broke down and set up Google reader, i was using a mac-based system, but the ubiquity of google is equity for everybody… i kind of sound like a sales rep, yikes! Anyway, it is a nice service, i just wish it looked nicer instead of the baby blue nightmare scheme.

It’s my prayer that bloggers are not in the number game
Just for the sake of being famous, well known and getting fame
What else do we have but advanced computer technology to really blame
For getting all bloggers everywhere all rather worked up with the numbering flame
