It is the same way with my website. It looks to be a good sign that you have a group of people who are always looking for new information from you.

GA depends on a piece of Javascript embedded in your page, making a call to the Google servers with the information it needs. Except for a tiny number of feed readers - that access the post URLs and render the actual post pages - most only run the feed through a style-sheet. Which is, of course, completely transparent to GA. What would be useful, is if GA allowed some way of routing RSS feeds through their servers. It's probably not feasible because of bandwidth implications. Still, if they could figure out some way of only routing the HTTP header through the GA server, that would work. The one thing that surprised me about Google Analytics, though it should have been obvious, was that GA cannot track requests from user-agents that do not support JavaScript. This, I believe, would include people who use browser extensions like NoScript, visitors surfing on their mobile phones, and users within intranets with security policies that prevent JavaScript from being executed. Unfortunately, you'd have no idea about the traffic you get from this set of viewers, since GA ignores them completely. There is <em>some</em> information that GA can glean from non-JavaScript requests, and that (along with a number indicating the proportion of non-JS users - typically 1-2% but you never know), would be quite useful. 1% of a million visits is still 10,000 visits.
