What To Do With Unverified Email Subscribers On FeedBurner?
If you are using FeedBurner to manage and promote your blog’s feed and allow e-mail subscriptions, chances are that you have number of “unverified” subscribers in your list. It is probably due to unfamiliarity with “signing up” process in place, or that those who have subscribed to your feed with e-mail have forgotten to confirm their subscription, a step required to activate their subscription.
Darren at Problogger wrote how to handle the unverified email subscribers- I used his tips on several occasions on few of my blogs, with one exception. I have never send more than one e-mails to advise unverified subscribers to complete the subscription process. If my first reminder went unanswered I would just delete the unverified e-mails from the list.

FYI FeedBlitz automates this – after 3 days an “unverified” subscriber is sent a reminder (just the once). No need to for publishers to intervene at all.

I did not know that. Thanks! I also always presumed that FeedBlitz was not a free service.
