Google RSS Doubles Things Up

Thanks to moving over from Feedburner to Google Feedburner, my adsense impressions effectively doubled on the first day, which is a very good thing, I think. More impressions means more possible money to be made, which is a very good thing these days.

The numbers keep coming, which is interesting, since I really have no idea as to why I have such a surge in RSS readers, but let’s just keep hoping and praying for a breakthrough again.
