Maybe it is time for people to cough up some logs and see what is really happening with the delay between actual log parsing and on line statistics for items on the web server. For example my on line tracking will show 100 visitors while my direct log parsing system will show 300 visitors, consistently logging in 1/3rd on average all the visitors to the web site..
It looks like feed burner and the new Google stats are looking at the same issue. In that the numbers are not going to be accurate, and not accurate depending on where you are in their system, and how they read/rank the blog or site you are working from.
A default feed, in case you don’t know, is a feed which is presented to users on signup. Google Reader, for instance, pushes new users to these feed bundles: instead of searching for feeds you like, just grab a bundle on a certain topic. This is a great boost for those sites that can get themselves listed in these bundles: often by striking a deal with the feedreader company or being friends with the owner.
