I turned off Feedburner — nothing that anyone will notice since I had a redirect to it. I just did not find any true value add to the service. The stats were nice, but I really did not get much out of them, did I really have 41 readers? I doubt it, I have much less, but that’s what Feedburner reported. The Amazon ad splicing was kind of nice at first, but there’s barely any impressions or clicks based on the ads — and with Amazon, they don’t pay you by the clicks. Amazon only pays when someone clicks and then buys. The Flickr splicing was actually really cool, but I don’t upload pictures on a frequent enough basis to have that be useful. So, I will take over the syndication tasks again since I am a control freak and really did not like the idea of someone else handling the serving of my feed.

Did you try the Browser Friend Burner and the del.icio.us Link Splicer. Those are two features you didn’t mention, that I really enjoy.
Browser Friend Burner - Makes it easy for people to subscribe. One reason you likely don’t get subs is because you don’t make it easy. Displaying angled brackets in the browser when someone clicks on the RSS, is not very helpful. FeedBurner have USM and feed URI scheme and a couple chicklets.
Link Splicer - It adds my del.icio.us links to my feed.
Here’s some other ways of getting your subs up.
