Popular posts

I'm always fascinated by the subjects that attract interest on this blog. Some - usually my serious ones, like the ones about Death Row - aren't popular at all, but K is for Knickers (written ages ago for an A to Z challenge) attracted hundreds of hits. However, my last  post (Pudding Post) has broke all recent records by a long way. I've no idea why.

What have been your most popular posts?

    Isn't it to do with people " googling" certain words? i.e. knickers, puddings,and many more common search words..often rude!

      As Teresa said…lots of people might be googling pudding recipes, or…… maybe there is a " rude" connotation that us innocents are not aware of in the word pudding!!

      You didn't answer it either, Adrian. But then, what did I expect?

    My A - Z posts from a couple of years ago receive many hits, especial 'Z for the last letter of the alphabet' and a post entitled 'Flaming June'.

      I thin the A to Z does attract a lot of comments. But I think I've now exhausted the alphabet!

    It is a mystery why some posts are so much popular than others, but puddings I can understand. Most people love puddings :-) x

      Teresa, I think you must be right. Oh, and knickers, of course...

    Popularity changes weekly, but when I look at the statistics for my blog, the "all time" most popular one is "Day Three: Three Times Ripley", followed by "The Ghost Writer". Recently, the most popular post was "A Bargain!" (about the vintage green wool dress I bought in Ripon in June). That is what people type into search engines: bargain, Ripley, ghost writer... as well as knickers and pudding.

      You must have some very erudite followers, Patsy. I like new words, too.

    I can't answer your question as I don't have a blog, but I can say that nearly all your posts attract my attention and a comment. Down to earth subjects that we can all relate to must be the most popular.

      Maggie, go on. Start up your blog again. You know you want to.

      I have tried but blogger won"t let me in again. Must be doing something wrong but don't know what it is.

    Of course there is a big difference between hits and commenters. Google owns Blogger. Blogs are fed directly into their search engines. Which is why what Meike says happens. As to why knickers are popular I don't know unless people are trying to buy them. There may be knicker fetishists out there but if there are they are beyond my understanding.
