Looking to your right hand side, you'll be shocked of my feed's readers. From over 10 to over 10 thousands in seconds. Do you think it is the truth, which over 10 thousands readers subscribe your site in seconds ? Yeah, it may be possible for the well-known site like : Digg, Delicious...etc but it couldn't absolutely possible for the site as mine in seconds.

Unconsciously, i was thinking of the word FAKE. Suddenly, i try to google: "how to fake the number of reader in Feedburner". Although i didn't expect that this action was possible, it's the truth then. You are able to fake the number of your reader provided by feedburner just share your feed readers with another site has readily numerous readers.It's not difficult, just follow the step below :
Here is the rectangle image where the number of your readers stand

Change ijajaja to the feedburner feed's address of the site you wanna show its reader. N that's all ;)Publish your site again!!! you'll see the amount of your readers changes unbelievably.

WHY YOU DO THIS ?
It's not something difficult to answer this question. Most sites want to show their popularity though this high amount of readers. They like to gain as many as they can but jiggery-pokery. You could follow the trick above by copying the feed address of Digg or Techcrunch which are the big brothers of the web recently.

Showing a larger subscriber count than what your blog has naturally makes your site seem more popular which unfortunately makes new visitors more likely to stick. Just as having a blog with No Comments written all over it, showing a FeedBurner chiclet with no subscribers can be just as bad. It turns people away in many cases.On top of that it'ss a great way to stroke your own ego.

BUT WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DO THIS ?
Your faithful visitors will lose their believe on your site. They will feel everything in your site are frauds. Consequently, they will unsubscribe your feed and they won't never come back ans subscribe your again.

You'll be embarrassed when someone finds out that you are fraudulent, you don't play integrity, you don't believe yourself contents that they are able to catch your readers' eyes.

If something more serious happens, you'll have to give up your current domain and change to the new one or never blog anymore.

Finally, i wanna give you a word : DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS !!!
