24-Hour Delay in PFblogs.org Posts: Testing

Previous: What Is Your PFblogs.org Delay?

Atom feed picked up my last blog post quickly but it took a day to appear on PFblogs.org so I am testing the time lag with this post.

Update: This post appeared on Atom feed within minutes and on PFblogs.org within an hour.

The fastest lag that I have noticed is about an hour delay but there are periods where performance degrades to a day later, which impairs the "news" value of the aggregator as almost no one will see the article when it posts to a buried position.

To my feed subscribers, do you notice any significant delay to your feed subscription?

What Is Your PFblogs.org Delay?

Can you hear me now?

I have seen 3-hour delays and yesterday more than a day's delay between blog post and the post's appearance on PFblogs.org. In the recent case, it seemed that the post never appeared on PFblog.org's first page because it posted in an already-buried position.

What affects the delay and what delays do you encounter?

Update 7/6/07: This post did not appear on PFbolgs.org until about 6 hours later and was buried on page 3 (51-75) and apparently never saw the first page.

How can we fix this?

Update 7/6/07: PFblogs.org quickly replied (thank you) that Feedburner was slow to record my content so I sent an Atom URL to PFblogs.org and a subsequent post appeared on PFblogs.org's first page an hour later.

The post appeared at about 4th place on the first page, inserted below posts that had already been there, so somehow others are getting a quicker turn-around time.
