Beware of elderly people, horses, knickers and naturists

I'm still intrigued by my blog stats. In Love with a Horse is still by far the favourite, but Beware of Elderly People is in danger of being overtaken by both Knickers and Naturists (ts ts - actually, these were two subjects I chose in desperation to fit into the A-Z challenge). Now, Proof is a top favourite for this week. What are people expecting? Do they think I'm running a covert distillery?
How disappointing, then, to find that's it's only a photo of me, struggling up a mountain.

Aliya has found that ping pong pulls the visitors in. Does anyone have any other magnetic tags? What do your readers like? I'd love to know.

  1. It is not that long ago that I actually took notice of my blog stats, and I found those numbers quite surprising, too.
    My post "Dear Dashboard" is the all-time most popular of all my posts, although it only has 4 comments. My record-holding posts for comments, on the other hand, has only about a fifth of the number of pageviews of "Dear Dashboard".
    I also find it interesting to see what search terms people used to (accidentally) land on my blog. The key words "wellies" and "puddles" feature high on that list, even though they appear in one single post.

  2. Weird isn't it. Mine is "Back Home and a Pink Post" from over a year ago.
    Maybe we should do posts about weird and wonderful things - I don't know, like Cabbages in Bowler Hats and see how many hits we get!

  4. Wellies and puddles...hmmm. Librarian, we live in iteresting times!

    Teresa, yours is pretty odd, too. As for the cabbages in bowler hats, give it a try and let us know!

    Jenny - you're right. There are strange forces out there on the blogosphere. What's your top post?

  5. I always get lost of extra visitors if I write anything about John Barrowman. I think he must have an army of loyal followers.

  6. Get a grip, woman - you're becoming obsessed! (My blog readers like Clangers, Kindles and people telling people things - not that I check very often you understand)

  7. Hi, Suzanne - who is John Barrowman? Perhaps I should Google him...

    Patsy, I'll get a grip all in good time (this is all not-getting-down-to-writing activity, you understand).

  8. Haven't really checked out the most popular posts yet, but i suspect they'll be the ones highlighting a market!

    The wacky titles certainly get the attention, though - have just read Teresa's post!

  9. Rosemary, you've probably got better things to do (I have, too, but ...)

    BTW this post is riding high in the charts. Now there's a surprise!

  11. Diane, I've no idea, but horses help, and anything to do with sex. Horses and sex...? No. Perhaps not.
