When ever we talk about how to increase Feed subscriber, it also include Email subscriber. Email subscription is a very important and crucial part of any blog, since despite of RSS feeds being one of the popular form, people prefer getting updates via Email.
When you subscribe to any blog via Email subscription offer, you need to confirm your subscription by clicking on the Email link sent via your Feed Email service. In this case it’s Feedburner. Notify unconfirmed feedburner Subscription WordPress plugin, is very useful to grow your Feedburner subscriber, by sending notification to unconfirmed subscribers
This plugin is very easy to use: All you need is to download and install the plugin and under Tools click on Notify unconfirmed Subscription option:
This useful plugin is developed by Keith Dsouza and here are few screenshots of how this plugin works:
This plugin is very useful if you have some good amount of unconfirmed Email subscriber. But again one thing which I missed in this plugin is to select users to send Email. Since Email will be sent to all at one go and in this cases chances are high that bulk Email may be classified as Spam Email.
Here is a small video which will help you to work with this WordPress Plugin:
Anyways, I would suggest you to give it a shot and try to increase your feed subscription by this simple and helpful WordPress plugin. Another useful plugin which you can have a look at is: Feed subscription reminder WordPress plugin or Greet box WordPress plugin.
Do let us know, what method you use to notify unconfirmed Email subscribers?

Hey Harsh,
Nice Post. I never though of sending mail to unconfirmed subscribers.
Thanks for sharing.

Useful for old blogs I guess. Cos I doubt if there would be many people subscribing through email for a new blog..
Helpful Plugin Harsh, Thanks for sharing it with us..
I never give interest to the unconfirmed subscriber because they are the one, who don’t take the subscription seriously!! So I think, No Use of their Subscription….

Arijit I agree with your statement but still many time users forget to click the confirmation link. Giving it a shot might be helpful to get more subscriber and more subscriber means more traffic.
very useful plugin indeed
I have lots of unconfrmed subscribers
this will help me
I tried this plugin few months back but at that time it wasn’t working. Anyway, I will again give it a try as it is really worth trying plugin.
Shahab what issue did you get last time? Do let us know if it worked for you this time or not?
Well last time it did not accepted my feedburner password. I tried many times at that time. Its not just me, many other bloggers have the same kind of issue. I think its the update from keith for this plugin that has made it working now.
Anyway it’s working perfectly alright for me now!
One thing which I would recommend is to change your password before using the plugin and then change it back to original once you are done , as there can be security issues

Thanks for heads up about security Manish and letting us know about this plugin
Ahh this is superb, one of my blog has 945 Unconfirmed subscribers and i always wanted to send them a email but could not found any solution. This look great.
I heard some where about the same but was unaware how to do it. I was searching feedburner dashboard for any option for resending confirmation mail to the unconfirmed users but found nothing. This method is really easy and sounds effective. The point you mentioned about Spam is of a little worry. Anyways Thanks for the tip.
Sending lots of Email at one go is something a big worry. Specially when you have long list of unconfirmed subscriber. That’s what happened in my case. Do share your experience after using it.
Such a great idea, i have so many unconfirmed subscribers. Normally I used to re-enter the email manually, but one is much better. Great info!
I believe that’s lots of manual work. Hope this plugin will save your time.
Thanks for the tip harsh..will install it right away!
Do comeback and let us know how did it go??
Pheew! Thanks for sharing this Harsh. I have about 700+ unconfirmed subs right now itself. I usually do the job manually each month by using the excel export sheet function of feedburner and then mass emailing (but gmail has its limit and it is not so practical).
This plugin will really help.
Damn!! That’s must be lot of manual work. You owe me a coffee now for saving your time.
never thought of sending an email to non-subscribers will be doing that for now on. great plugin thanks for sharing
can we do this for blogspot blog??
No Ajeet, there is no such option for BlogSpot users. You need to do manual work for BlogSpot blog.
Thanks a lot friend. I am getting only less time to hang around with my blog now and so this helps me a lot as it does everything automatically.
It’s saying
We fetched 1 feeds from your account.We could not find any subscribers who have not confirmed their subscriptions.
but my blog is have 2 feeds & 400+ unconfirmed subscribers
Excellent advice
