Most blogs in the blogosphere have a RSS Feedburner. RSS Feedburner is noticeable because of an icon that is mostly yellow, displayed usually at the top right of a blog and tells people to please subscribe by email to be notified when the author write another post. Some tend to flaunt the feedburner to boast of how many subscribers they got. Showing your RSS Feedburner has 2 advantages (that I can think of)
1. It increase your advertising leverage
2. It show that people like and read your blog.
How do you increase your subscribers number? It is by pesting people to subcribe to your feed in every of your post. Another way is promising to give your subcribers either an ebook, money, or something else. I tried using “get xx entrecard credits” to subscribe to my RSS Feed. I got only 2 subscription from it.
In my opinion: Bloggers subcribe to other bloggers’ RSS Feed because they want to get something from your site. If a blogger wants to be like your, the blogger would go to your site directly to learn from you. I believe it is mostly search engine traffic that subscribes to your Feed.
I am also including a poll on why do you subcribe to a RSS Feed

At the time that I voted I couldn’t leave a comment, but now I can and I also can see that you’ve installed the plugin that I recommended!
Anyway: I voted “To support the blogger” but that was just a mistake.. :S I subscribe to a blog to stay updated!
BioTeck, thanks for the plugin recommendation. Don’t worry about your vote, there is always a +- 3% error margin in a poll.
Cool..
Can’t you just delete my vote!? 
Actually, I can change the vote by cannot delete your IP from the poll.
Contests help sometimes…I had one with not huge prizes, some EC’s for signing up & ad spaces - I got about 20 subscribers from it more or less. Part of it is all about finding people…
I was thinking of maybe doing some sort of “I’ll subscribe to you if you subscribe to me” but then I realized there’s no way in the world I could keep up with reading them all the time.
chelle, that is right. Just allow the visitors to subscribe on their own will.
