I should also add that feed subscriber numbers fluctuate based on a number of different variables. For example, certain feed readers report a subscriber regardless of whether the subscriber read his feeds that day, while others only report on days of active feed reader use.
It seems possible that you're looking at your feed subscriptions with a very overly micromanaged way. Look at overall trends over a month or two. If your subscriber base is not increasing, then you need to evaluate what improvements you can make to get a more positive trend.
As it's been mentioned in this thread, if your subscribe link is not prominent, it can be very off-putting to some potential subscribers, or just frustrating to others.
One last thing is quality, not quantity. You could post even just once a week and have a good size readership. It's the quality of the content/community that matters.
