You’re welcome. Just remember you are getting the top posts using one factor, page views! There are Blogger widgets that calculate true popularity using information about bookmarking (on SU, twitter, etc) and comment interaction. See if this one comes up with a different list: http://www.aiderss.com/publishers/customize — you can preview without adding to your blog or put in on your test blog [you do have one don’t you? – if not see TOC in my blogspot blog.

I hope bloggers who use a different statistics package can still take away some general concepts and tactics from this post. They can see if their package measures up. I use two stat trackers myself.

I agree, you need to pick your battles with Analytics and time spent promoting. The non-sneaky way is called ‘shameless blog promotion’ on BlogCatalog. You can also find related groups and do searches for the same keywords. Then let’s not forget Twitter… Thanks for dropping in.

Great post! I usually use Analytics to find out how much my search engine traffic is increasing. I don’t seem to have time promoting individual pages since it takes a lot of time. However, I do believe that if your older posts are getting a significant amount of pageviews like what’s shown here, then there’s reason for somebody to scatter text links for that page all around the web. The only challenge is to do that in a non-sneaky way. lol.
