@Abhishek What do you mean, you think I’m wrong? Pah! Not allowed Point taken though, it is, as I said, surprising that posts that I thought would be hits failed to get the traffic I felt they deserved. Of course, since posting this bottom 5 post, all those failed posts have gained new readers!

@Shirley I think we probably all have some golden nuggets locked away in our archives, I once asked Sciencetext readers to update me on some of those that were bound to be out of date or wrong in the light of current understanding, but there were few takers...

@Kim, yeah it is very interesting to see what doesn’t hit the spot. Obviously, posts about facebook hacks or circumventing firewalls are always popular, but like you say, some offbeat item might get picked up and really fly, especially if it gets Stumbled or whatever…

Hmm … you never know what people are going to like. Sometimes I think an article will be really popular and it isn’t. Other times I think it’s a lame article that no one will care about and it’s the one everyone visits.

It’s refreshing to see a bottom 5 list.

And Happy New Year!

Um… Great strategy. lol. It definitely caught my attention.

…I can do worse. You know, its a shame, but some of my earlier posts never got their fair share of traffic. So I make sure to link to them via other posts. This way, even my oldest and most neglected posts get visitors.

We can’t always produce posts with thousands of hits (unless you’re Ars Technica). But considering you only have 5 out of the year, that’s pretty darn good.

Congrats for a successful 2008! Looking forward to more tips and tricks!
