Have only Reader Subscription on your Blog ? Do add Email Subscription form or link also to your blog . Most of the bloggers are familiar with the importance of displaying Feed Icons like " Subscribe in reader" on their blog which gives an opportunity to reader to subscribe to the feeds of the blog on the feed aggregator of the choice of the reader. Growing popularity of feed reading through feed aggregator pushes the blogger to display feed count on the blog to show the visitor that how many people have subscribed to the blog feeds. its become like an authority indicator like twitter followers, Page Rank etc.I don't know the exact ratio of how many reader like to read through Email or Feed aggregators but there are many who still like to read through Email Subscription.
