The Feedburner RSS feed for my blog has suddenly increased its "reach" to ten times the number of subscribers. Is this a bug?
The "reach" metric has been happily ticking away for months peaking at about half the subscribers whenever there's a new post. Yesterday however it suddenly shot up to five figures for no apparent reason and it seems to be maintaining that level today.
I'm guessing that it's not possible to have ten times more reads or clickthroughs than I have subscribers but if this is a bug Feedburner doesn't seem to be correcting itself as usual. Is there anything that could have caused the sudden jump? Google Reader Play? Aliens?
