When one looks back on their blogging life they just want to know that it meant something. So here is a look at my ten most & least popular posts.
Top 10 Most Fascinating Ideas
At over 72,000 views this is my top post ever! Why? Because the post contains 4 photos of cute little kittens. I would say 100% of my traffic came from Google traffic.
I am no longer getting traffic to this post because it was sucking the heck out of my bandwidth (because of hotlinking). The photos are still there but they are being hosted at Dummies of the Year at WordPress.com.
Club Penguin DJ Cadence Tracker
48,000 hits on a children’s game, seriously! Back before WordPress.com changed their Top Blogs of the Day, the normal Joe could land on the page and I would do it with Club Penguin.
Glenn Beck New Theme Song 2010
One day, early in January of 2010, I was listening to Glenn Beck (please don’t hate me). I noticed that he changed his song to a very James Bond sounding theme. So I blogged about it.
What I didn’t know was I was the first person to blog about it. I immediately started to get tons of traffic… for a whole year. I ended up with 37,000 hits!
Glenn Beck New Theme Song 2010 Quick Links
So I decided to whore myself to Google. People started leaving comments with links to more information on the Glenn Beck New Theme Song 2010. I then wrote a post that would allow people to easily access those silly helpful links. I have brought in 7,615 hits.
Everybody loves babies. And most women want one. And more than likely they will give that little squirt a name. I came up with a list of names to give kids. I wonder if anybody ever actually chose my names? I influenced over 6,000 females!
I kept getting organic traffic for “tattoos for men” though I had never wrote about it. I offered some pictures of tattoos. Some of the tats are even on women. It doesn’t matter cause Tony people still love tattoos. 5,474 views.
Lindsay Lohan Famous Interviews (16)
Yeah! A Famous Interview post that is in the top 10. I didn’t think anybody cared. Actually they don’t care Scholar Mel. What 5,199 people care about is Lindsay.
The original baby name post. Who would have known that the 2011 baby name post would surpass this crazy idea. 2,455 views.
I’ve got to be honest, I’m not a big fan of cute little kittens. So this is why I wrote a post about ugly cats. Apparently people love ugly cats also.
Top 10 Most Brainless Ideas
The following are my worst posts ever! I’m not sure if they are the worst because they suck or because I didn’t have an audience to read them. You be the judge, just don’t do it so harshly. Oh, and every post below has 5 hits each.
Nigerian Passenger Attempts To Blow Up International Flight
Seems like a very serious post right? It is but people don’t want serious, they want silliness. I reported on something that 1,000 other real journalists reported about. Borrrrrring!!
American Idol Week 1 Elimination Spoiler
Do you remember that show called American Idol? I blogged about it. Why? I don’t really have a clue. I was new to this whole blogging thing and thought people would actually care. Sorry.
Take Note Of Not So Dumb Changes
In this post I mention that I changed the look of Dummies of the Year! I said that I added a Saint Homer to the header. I don’t even remember this.
This post is very ironic. I mention that the converter box is a bad idea because people who can’t afford to have one wouldn’t have access to things like Tornado warnings. The apartment I wrote that blog post in was destroyed in the Joplin, Tornado. What was meant as humor became tragically sad.
English words change pronunciation depending on what part of the world you live in. There is one word that is not acceptable to ever get wrong. Read this post to find out which.
I use to put little bragging buttons on my blog. Top Blog Area was one of those buttons. I never got traffic from them but it looked cool to have top rankings. All was fine until they banned me. They did this before I wrote about Conan O’Brien Adult Titles!
100 People Flush Cruise Ship Back To San Diego
Crap, crap, crap and more crap!
Conan OBrien or Jay Leno. Who Will Leave for FOX?
Nobody went to Fox! The poll on this post received one vote from the Scholar. Polls are still open if you care to vote.
Don’t tell Ahmnodt Heare but it seems a lot of people want Chuck Norris for president. What people don’t want is to read a post about Chuck Norris for President.
Joaquin Phoenix Disaster On David Letterman
I knew this was a hoax! Nobody believed me. The sad thing is the video for this post has been marked as private so I went ahead and removed it.
Your Most Brainless Post
Leave me your most brainless post in the comments below. In a pretty anchor text if you know how. If not then just leave the title of the post along with a link. I look forward to seeing your worst!
Update: Or leave your very best post with a link in the comments. The first two comments were of men gone crazy thinking that their sites deserve eternal damnation because of the worthless filth they produce.



All of mine can be considered best or Worst depending on the viewer so it is hard to pick just one.
Qualification: A post that is at least one year old and has the least amount of views and I haven’t witnessed a bad post from you.
Mine are all suspect. It’s okay, though. I’ve come to terms with it. Or I HAD, that is. 72,000 hits?! Are you serious?! On one post?! *sigh* That would be a heck of a YEAR for me, Mel!
You and Bearman are being modest. You are the ones with real stuff to offer. I’m the one with junk food.
I got 72,000 hits on junk food.
Well, without a blog, it’s hard to have a bad post. At least, until a blog friend does a big multiple-question interview of you. I advertised myself to all of my blog friends (and I follow almost 2 dozen, with an average of about 8 people per), so I expected huge turnout.
Didja hear the thud? CalTech told me it registered 6.1 on the Richter – biggest flop on the Internet in decades.
So post about whatever you want, but just make sure it ain’t ABOUT me. People seem to enjoy my smart-aleck remarks, they just don’t want to know about the bizarre collection of personalities that is me!
Speaking of which, I got a small group of me on safari behind the left lung. I need to call in a service crew to get their phone lines re-installed. (I’ve taken so many electric shocks in my life, my body is a no-cell-reception area.)
I would have turned out. Was this before your introduction to Dummies of the Year!?
I appreciate your smart-aleck remarks! Keep them coming sir
Oh yes, by a few months at least. (Which is a long time – I only got into the whole blog thing around the end of 2010.) Here it is:
http://thelifeofjamie.wordpress.com/2011/05/11/an-interview-with-the-goat-whisperer
I will caution that Jamie can get a bit “salty” in the language, and there are some risque questions. And most important of all, there will probably be some points I’ll have to explain. But go ahead, enjoy the read, and I’ll happily explain (or try to) anything weird. Well, weird for MOST people!
Thanks. I’ll make time to check it out on Saturday. I want to right now but I am getting ready to head out the door. No, seriously.
If I don’t understand your responses I’ll make sure to leave a comment.
72,000 hits ???
Bloody show off !!!
Junk food ya’ll.
What!?! 72,000 views! OMG, I totally suck. I don’t even know how to find the stats per post, only the total for the site. So, I’ll give you my personal favorite without the “pretty anchor text” because I don’t know what that means…
I Heard It On The Bus
Now, please excuse me while I go jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.
Sorry. I was so busy whining that I forgot to say…Good for you!
Thanks for the complement but please don’t jump!
I provided the anchor text for you. See, isn’t that prettier?
Also, thank, thank, thank for providing a link to your post!!
72,000 hits and they still missed you? They’re either incredibly bad shots, or you’re one lucky blogger!
I’m bulletproof.
Maybe he just learned how to duck. Sure it cost a guinea or two, but he’s no chicken, just a silly goose.
(Boy, that was a fowl comment.)
BOO! HISS!
And staying an extra week folks, it’s John Erickson!
