Year End Review
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Fri, 12/31/2010 - 11:58Stace has a blog post up about her top ten blog posts of 2010. So, I thought I’d take a moment and review my blogging.
This blog post will be my 494th blog post of the year. If you include the seventeen posts I wrote for the around the towns column on Bethwood Patch, and a few posts that I wrote for on my new internal blog at Community Health Center, Inc. I am well over 500 posts for the year.
The blog posts on Orient Lodge that have gotten the most traffic are
My New Nokia #N900 #Android Phone
Running Java on an #N900
My Update Adventure #N900 PR 1.3, NitDroid, Titan, and MeeGo
Configuring the Nokia #N900 Chameleon for Mer, MeeGo and Fedora
MeeGo 1.1, Partitions, Bootmenu, Kernel Power, Flasher, and All That Stuff on the #N900
Hmm... I think I see a trend. In fact, the top twenty blog posts, in terms of traffic, are all about the Nokia N900. Coming in at 21 was EC Analytics. This was a program I wrote for people using both EntreCard and Google Analytics to find which sites on EntreCard have sent the most traffic to a blog according to Google Analytics as opposed to Entrecard’s own analytics.
I used this program fairly extensively from time to time which is part of the reason it is high on the list.
By the way, these are the EntreCard users that have been most engaged in Orient Lodge over the past year according to my calculations using Google Analytics:
First Door on the Left
Fatherly Yours
Small Town Mommy
Parent Times
The Sewing Mom
With the exception of The Sewing Mom, all of them had over 200 pageviews on Orient Lodge over the past year. Sewing Mom is one click away. Thank you to all my regular readers.
It seems like there are at least two very different audiences, one for blog posts about the Nokia N900 and one from regular readers from sites like EntreCard.
Coming in 23rd was Google Maps and Drupal Location; not about the Nokia N900, but geeky nonetheless. At 24 was The Death of Jeter and Jezzebelle. Stories about dogs, while not as popular online as geeky blog posts often get a lot of traffic. At 25 was yet another Nokia N900 story.
There are probably a few other year end topics I should explore. We’ll see if I get another post or two up by the end of the year.
