Surprisingly Popular

01/07/15 | assorted

The JetPack plugin that I have hooked up to this blog via WordPress gave me a nice shiny report at the end of December. It reported on my year of blogging with all sorts of interesting facts and statistics and I soaked them all up.  One of the things I found most interesting was the most popular posts.  I have a popular page and a link to it on the header of my blog and it made me realize I do not update it nearly as often as I should.   These are the top five most popular posts of 2014: 

Sparkles and Shoes Top Posts of 2014

(1) Enviable Ombre Perfection  (2) Thursday Trend: Sequin Tank
(3) Gold Foil Tattoos  (4) Thursday Trend: Silver Sequins   (5) Nude Pumps

I think it is interesting that two of the top five posts of 2014 were not actually written last year, I guess a few of these posts have staying power, or good SEO! And I love the note the report gave me at end of this section, “Consider writing about those topics again.”  Even though the WordPress / Jetpack report was fascinating I wanted to take a deeper look and see the most popular blog posts published in each month of 2014. Without further ado:

    That Jetpack plugin is seriously so useful. I’m new to blogging so still figuring out how it works but I’m loving it so far! Great post 🙂

    Isn’t it fascinating to see which of your blog posts are actually the most popular? I always have certain thoughts and expectations attached to posts before I put them out into the world and very often, the reception from readers is completely not what I expected!

    Maybe next you need to do a post on SEO – LOL! These are all great posts and so interesting. I love to analyze things at the end of the year and see what made an impact.
