The folks over at the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog have a new tips article on their feed service. This seems to be the official announcement that they are now providing numbers of subscribers to feed owners. There is more good information here though.

Does your site have a feed? A feed can connect you to your readers and keep them returning to your content. Most blogs have feeds, but increasingly, other types of sites with frequently changing content are making feeds available as well. Some examples of sites that offer feeds:

* News sources such as the New York Times publish feeds of their latest stories
* Companies like Apple publish feeds of their press releases, as well as a few other feeds.
* Blogs including the Official Google Blog publish feeds with their latest posts
* Shopping sites like Buy.com publish feeds with noteworthy deals.

Here are other items that are explained in this article:

  • Making your feed available to Google
  • Don’t yet have a feed?
  • More tips from the Google Reader team

This is a good article for anyone interested in feeds.
