Welcome to another edition of stupid blog tricks where we share the top secrets of the blogosphere with you. Unlike internet marketers we don’t charge you for these. There are no e-books to purchase or seminars to attend. Instead we provide you with with this valuable service for the incredibly low price of….free.
Today we are here to discuss the difference between your best and most popular posts. If you have been blogging for more than a short while you have probably noticed that your best posts are not always your most popular. It is a curious phenomenon that some scientists have compared to why people enjoy watching The Jersey Shore, The Kardashians and The Bachelor. Fortunately for you I have as much training as any of those people and more importantly am willing to share my knowledge with you.
The answer to your question is that there really isn’t any significant rhyme or reason as to why your incredibly well written and thoughtful post about how you became a father is ignored while some throwaway post about why people from cleveland heights are crazy is read daily. Here in wild, wacky and woolly blogosphere logic is ignored, reason is laughed at and up is down.
And since you asked here is a list of posts that the powers that be say are quite popular. If I had made the list I might have included some of these or I might not have. Either way it doesn’t matter because Stupid Blog Tricks doesn’t charge you for our valuable free services. So here is a list of 65 posts that stats say are popular.
I have highlighted a few of them that jump out at me as being among my favorites. This isn’t a complete list by any means. There are plenty o’posts that should be included but sometimes free is free and you get what you pay for.
