Popularity bar and RSS, something is fishy
I have a podcast show (everyday acupuncture podcast)
I've been publishing weekly episodes since early January of this year.
Prior to Jan 28, there are rankings on the "popularity" graph. But after that date, nothing. And my show is further behind in rankings than similar shows that have fewer downloads and some have not even published for 2+ years.
I emailed Apple and they said to check and make sure the RSS was validated. Which it is. But i checked it again, and other than a minor issue with font size on something it seems to be fine.
The Apple support said to re-connect the RSS. But, it’s already putting shows up, and people can subscribe and download. So, I’m not sure that bit of advice.
I asked the Libsyn tech support and they just pointed the finger at Apple.
So, I’m not sure what to do here. My show is further behind in the rankings than shows that have dormant for years.
Maybe I should disconnect and reconnect the feed? Is that possible?
This RSS stuff sounds a bit finicky. And once you have it set up, it sounds like there are issues with taking it down and putting it back up again, or changing from one feed to another.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
