Sure we all heard about hacking the feed count before, but only two ways that I knew about involved copying the Feedburner chicklet from another blog or manually creating fake emails account and subscribing to your own feed. The former was very easy to be detected, while the second was painfully time consuming (not that I tried…).
The guys from TheNextWeb though found a simple and efficient way to do the trick. You just need to create an OPML file with thousands of lines containing your blog RSS feed and then import it on NetVibes. For each line that you added your RSS feed URL NetVibes will consider 1 new subscriber, and Feedburner will display those numbers. Check out the video explanation.
