I've recently hit a milestone of 5000 page views. Hurrah for me! To celebrate this momentous occasion I'm taking a look back through my most popular posts.
First, though, some thank-you's are in order.
Ana Cristina, thanks for sending almost 500 hits my way! Also deserving is
Burndtree, who has boosted my traffic with almost 200 hits from his blog. Combined, you two rival Google in terms of traffic sources! Now for that recap.
Making Connections - Molly Millions and Quorra receives tonnes of hits daily from Google image searches, with almost 600 page views to date! In it I looked at the similarities between a character in William Gibson's "Neuromancer" and the recent "Tron: Legacy" film. It was a short post, rather hastily put together, and something I will likely expand on when I get back to Canada.
Tattoo three, Round two puzzles me with it's place as the number two most visited post on my blog. According to the stats from Blogger, I can once again thank Google image search for this one, with most search terms looking for phoenix or Russian tattoos. Oddly, though, my follow-up post with actual photos of the finished work has little relative traffic. Huh.
Zouk is a post from my early days in Singapore, back when I still had lots of time to spend exploring the popular clubs each weekend (not that I don't now, hah). This post is popular because it was posted on the Zouk Facebook page as a look into the
Ang Moh (read: foreign) perspective of the popular Mambo Jambo craze. I should probably go back before I ship out!
My True Colours was the third post on my blog, and a long one. Most of the hits come from people looking for the True Colors personality test (durr). It was something we did as part of our RA experience, and the results have proved to be almost creepily accurate. I'm still as green as ever, with little if any blue. If you haven't taken the test before, I highly recommend it. Share it around, too; it's cool to see how your friends (and family!) compare to you.
Well, those are my four most looked at posts, each with at least 100 views. Of course, the stats can't account for posts viewed as a part of the homepage.
In closing, I'd like to put it out there that I've signed up for Tumblr, a micro-blog. I'm not actually blogging on it, but more-or-less just using it for what most Tumblr do: post random tidbits from the interwebs that they found interesting/comical/cute/rad. So it's not a blogging replacement, but rather a companion to this blog. Or something like that.
