You can create direct links for people to subscribe to feeds in Google Reader. The format is http://www.google.com/reader/preview/*/feed/{insert the URL of your feed} . For example the Google Reader link for this blog is http://www.google.com/reader/preview/*/feed/http://gsearchblog.com/atom.xml . Google Reader will display a preview of the feed. The user then needs to click subscribe on the top right corner and it’s done!
