Very early in my blogging life I posted about reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid online (did you know it started its life on the internet as a comic book on funbrain?). That has been my all time most visited page of all time. Interesting. I posted it in 2008 and still get people commenting on it. I am not even sure you can still read the comic online!
My second most popular post is one I did after I read Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I had been watching the UK version of Skins and had fallen in lust for Luke Pasqualino and decided he would be the perfect Patch. This gets a lot of views, but no one comments, which makes me wonder what people search to actually get this hit, because I don't think it has anything to do with Hush, Hush!
This year my top five most viewed posts were:
1. Tween Tuesday: New Series I Want to Try
2. Quick Reviews: Boarding Schools Edition
3. Today in the Library
4. My Thoughts: After Eden by Helen Douglas
5. Book Snobbery
I was pretty glad to see that overall I am getting more visitors than I thought, sometimes a lot more! I enjoyed blogging for the most part this year, had my slow times, but am overall feeling glad I am continuing on with this endeavor.
I just love sharing about books!
Stats always surprise me. Sometimes they make me feel great, and other times they make me feel awful. I try not to think about them too much, but it is always amusing to see what posts bring in the most random visitors.
ReplyDeleteBTW, pageviews is a count of how many pages a visitor clicks on, where as unique visitors are counts of each individual person who visits your blog. So, I would be counted as one unique visitor, but if I look at five posts on your blog (causing the browser to load each page) then that counts as five page views. Hope that helps! :)
That does make it clearer, thanks! I still don't think I will pay too much attention to them. I have been at this awhile now and I like doing what I do, sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much, regardless of how many people visit!
