Why have I lost my blog followers?

Today,I had lost a few blog followers,and I was not the only one.Almost all my blog friends have lost quite a few followers.There is no reason to panic,and in fact,you have not lost your blog followers.They are just invisible,and are still following you.This would be mostly experienced by those using both blogger and Friend connect,as google is in the process of integrating them.

According to Known Issues of Blogger Team,

This is because we have set these users to "anonymous" to avoid linking the profiles of Blogger and Friend Connect users without their permission. They are still following privately and will able to make themselves public again.

I have also removed the word verification for comments.Thanks to my friend Nitesh Kothari who quickly informed me about the word verification problem in my blog(For newbies-blog authors don't get word verification while posting comments in their blog).Most likely,I won't enable the word verification again.So,if you are on blogger,disable word verification for time being as its experiencing issues.

Thanks for keeping me calm. It happened to me too. lost half of my followers. Did not know that. Yesterday I tried to comment on your blog and I did have a problem with the word verification captcha.

i suggest all the readers to remove word verification from their blogs... because its annoying and sometimes it does not load...and people don't comment after that..

Oh, what a relief!

I lost one-third of my followers. I thought they were dismayed with too many sponsored reviews.

thanks for that info

I lost a few folowers recently.I think twiter was cleaning its database by deleting spammy and inactive users.
