I have RSS feeds on some of my sites and I'm wondering how I can track how many people are subscribing to them.

The obvious solution is to track the number of hits on the URL, but I don't feel like that gives a very clear picture.

Use a tool like FeedBurner which has integration with Google Analytics.

This seems to be the only way to get reliable numbers. Doesn't mean I like it though. – Kris Aug 11 '10 at 22:35

Unfortunately, it's not an easy problem to solve on your own. See my question here on StackOverflow for more details. Really, as Adam mentioned, your best bet is using FeedBurner.
