would be nice if google shared the reading stats of a blog with it;s authors, even nicer if it was in google analytics. it would be easy to make it anonymous and to opt out if you really cared.

Interesting “discovery” :)

i feel that some “data” shown hence, mayn’t “exact” >> e.g.- the no. of subscribers…. it shows quite less than half (and for some the figure is less than even 10%)of exact value for most of the reputed blogs!
Do half of these readers use a different feed reader? God knows!!

@Marty – Same for me. Can never have too much of a good thing

@Patti – As long as it’s not all blue :)

@Jon – yeah, that’s right i think – at least that’s true for just the regular trends.

To tell you the truth, I never noticed “Show Details”, because I group my posts into categories, and almost never read a single blog by itself. The red and blue bars were not all the same size, but the tall red ones were not tall enough to account for the blue bars.

New theory: If you check the box under the entry in Google Reader, it is counted as a “read” article, but if you click the “Mark All As Read” button at the top, it is ignored. (I don’t let it mark articles as read if I scroll past them, only if I actually check the box or click the button.)

@Jon: That’s curious. I read everything in Google Reader and rarely click on the link to the original URL. All my red bars show up fine for me. You might check to see if you have red bars that are taller than the associated blue bars later on during the day or on later days. That would indicate that you don’t read the articles immediately, but that you do come back around to them later. Other than that, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t have bars that represent your true reading habits, even if you only read in Reader itself.

If you read the entire post in Google Reader, without clicking on it to read it in the blog itself, Google shows it as not having been read. I read all FlowingData posts in their entirety, but only half or fewer have a red bar. I suspect the posts I click on (represented by the red bars) are the posts I feel the need to comment on.
