Help Me Increase My Feed Subscribers

I’ve decided that one of my blogging goals next week is to improve the promotion of my RSS feed subscription, to try and improve the number of subscribers I have.  If you have any tips that have worked for you or if you see any areas of my design that are hampering my desire to increase the number of subscribers, then can you please share these with me and other readers via a comment.

According to Feedburner, at the time of posting I have 727 RSS subscribers. When you consider that according to Google Analytics I’ve had approximately 800k unique visits since last March, my conversion rate is pitiful at just under 0.1%.  It’s even worse when you consider the fact that I’ve been blogging for nearly two years, although obviously my traffic wasn’t as high as it is now in the early months and it’s also reasonable to assume that some of my early subscribers will have churned by now.  It’d be interesting if you could tell me how long you’ve been reading my feed so I can get an idea of the average tenure of my subscribers.  Have any of you been with me since virtually Day 1?

Currently I’m getting around 5-6K unique visitors a day and 85% of these have never visited my site before, so there’s a huge opportunity for me to increase my current 727 feed subscribers, if any of your tips work.

What changes did you make that helped to increase the number of RSS subscribers you have on your blog?
