Feed burner allows this, too. If tracking subscribers is important to you, then you should check out feedburner. http://www.feedburner.com/

Although, I believe Google Blogger allows you to see who is ‘following’ (subscribed) to you. They also let you monetize those feeds by adding adsense if I’m correct as well. Also, newsletters allow you to sell a bit of ad space…

It’s funny that so many websites use RSS, but so few WEB USERS actually even use it. It’s remarkable in fact because RSS is such a fantastic technology. I actually feel like RSS isn’t given all its credit and is incredibly underutilized. Hopefully more people will realize its awesomeness!
