If perhaps someone subscribes to an <acronym title="Rich Site Summary">RSS</acronym> 2.0 feed and a 0.91 feed you will be polled twice as many times as just having one feed. Having the availability of three different feeds may have your site being polled three times as much as required. Perhaps some type of bloglines "subscription" bypeople with multiple feeds is required (i.e. giving one feed to check for all syndication to your site through bloglines).</p> Perhaps it is because different people are subscribing to different feeds through bloglines.

Mark: 3 feeds: assuming Bloglines checks RSS 0.91, RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds only. The full list of feeds provided is on my Syndication page, but a few of those are unlikely to be checked.

I don’t have raw logs, I’m afraid. My host only gives basic stats and a few top 10 lists (bloglines being number 1 on the host requests list).

The Bloglines crawler does only hit each <acronym title="Uniform Resource Locator">URL</acronym> once an hour. Is it possible that you publish multiple feeds, and that all those feeds are in the Bloglines database? If you send me a sample of the server logs we can investigate.</p> Thanks for the comments about Bloglines. The Bloglines crawler does only hit each URL once an hour.
