Knowing Html will greatly help. For what you are asking I have to read the page and find something that could tell me that. For example I can look for the html image for feedburner. If I find it I have to read the content of the image. This is the hardest part, even if I know that some spammer tool is able to read number from gifs. Or maybe there is another way to know how many subscribers a site has. Good idea! A bit tricky but maybe there is an easy solution for it! Remember: a computer should do it, so it should be doable for it. You don’t need to know Java to make suggestions. Knowing Html will greatly help.

But maybe the number of subscribers, then on your database you can list the average number of subscribers.
