I try to write some nice thoughtful blog posts and I think I sometimes succeed, so it's probably good for my pride that for a long time the most popular post I've ever written has been Mrs. Cupo and the Roach. Today, though, it was surpassed by Providence, which somehow seems fitting.

Each of course is excellent in its distinctive way.
ReplyDeleteMy statistics don't give me a way of knowing what's the most popular post, but at least for a period of years I'm sure it was, by a good margin, "Emmylou Harris on YouTube", which is little more nor less than the subject line indicates. It seemed at one time that a good 25% or more of visitors to my blog entered at that post. I did not have your equanimity about it. It irritated the daylights out of me.
At least it made sense. Blogger is always telling me that people came to the blog by searching for phrases that don't lead to my blog when I google them.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if some posts are popular because people bookmarked the blog when they had that post open, and so whenever they come to the blog, it goes to that post first. I know I've done that with a couple of other blogs.

And thanks.

I tested at the time, and my ElH post came up within the first half dozen or so hits if I Googled "emmylou harris youtube". Let's see if it still does...nope. That must have been before Google bought YouTube. Now my post doesn't show on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or 10th pages. That's as far as I looked. Now what you get are actual YT items, not posts like mine that link to them.
