Now question is that What does it tell us?

Subscribers is a measure of how many people are subscribed to your feed. At any given time, you can expect that a certain percentage of this subscriber base is actively engaging with your content and this “Reach” measurement provides this additional insight.

One more thing, there may be people viewing your content beyond your known subscriber base. For example, they may view your content on a feed search engine or news filter site.

Reach aggregates both of these groups, providing an accurate and useful measurement of your true audience.

How Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 display FeedBurner feeds?

Popular browsers incorporated a new approach to displaying feeds with the introduction of Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and Firefox 2.0 . Like FeedBurner's BrowserFriendly service, IE7 and Firefox present feeds as a webpage, with a listing of their content.

IE7 offers options to subscribe to the feed using the browser's built-in feed reader.
Firefox 2 offers several user-selected options for subscribing to feeds in various readers.

These browsers' own display styling currently overrides any other feed styling options that might be applied to the feed, including FeedBurner's own BrowserFriendly.

How Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 display FeedBurner feeds?

FeedBurner's BrowserFriendly service provides publishers with an option to format feeds with a stylesheet and publisher-selected subscription buttons, or "chicklets," for various services. A feed that has BrowserFriendly's "Landing page renders as a webpage in all browsers" option checked will only display in Firefox 2 or IE7 with the FeedBurner-provided stylesheet if the feed is clicked on as a link on a live webpage. Typing the feed address directly in the browser bar or opening a feed linked in an email message, for example, will revert to the IE7/Firefox default stylesheet. Firefox, in particular, seems to cache feed stylesheets fairly aggressively, so you may not see the BrowserFriendly version of a feed even if you click to it from a link if you have already visited the feed previously.

What is a Favicon?

Favicon is drived from "favorites icon".Favicon is a small graphic you can associate with your website for display in browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, iCab, and AOL Explorer. This Favicon appears in several places: in the browser's Location field, next to the site's name in a bookmarks list, with the site's title in a tab (if the browser uses tabs), and next to the site's feed as shown in many feed readers. Favicon can increase your revenue.
