Goodbye, Bob. |
For as long as we've been compiling "top ten" lists, these statistics have remained somewhat constant. Formerly the rankings forming these lists were based on what I believed, mistakenly or otherwise, to be unique hits.
Perhaps this is an archaic concept, and speaking personally, I'm about as non-technical as a blogger can be, but the long and short of it is that at some point, something changed. It may have to do with a new definition of comprehensive "stats" as defined by Google.
I really don't know, and it doesn't matter very much, because it's easy to see that the busier a post at the Facebook portal, the higher the numbers here. The proportions are the same, and that's good enough for me.
The list begins with ten "honorable mention" posts, before concluding with the Top Ten, escalating to No. 1. The top post for July has become the most-read post in the history of NA Confidential.
It may also be the saddest.
So it goes.
