Website Update - Top 10 Page List for November & December 2013
Another month has come and gone, so it's time to look over the server logs again. This time, however, I noticed that I completely missed this top 10 list in November, so today's entry gives you two months for the price of one.
There's a lot of shuffling around that's been going on for a few months that continued these past two months. While over half of the pages on the list had made the top 10 list before, the rankings from month to month vary quite widely. Plus, there were quite a few newcomers. November had three - Carter Wind Energy, Another Similarity Between Osiris & Jesus, and Our Litigious Society?. And December actually had five newcomers - Review of Ray Comfort's New Movie - Evolution vs. God, Part I, The Universe Is Big, Friday Bible Blogging - 2 Chronicles 31 to 2 Chronicles 36, Response to Global Warming Denialist E-mail - Volcanoes and Global Cooling, and Friday Bible Blogging - The Book. I really must say that I'm quite pleased to see that batch of newcomers as I think they're pretty good entries. I'm especially proud of the Ray Comfort one because of Ray's special place on this blog (my first real entry), and because it reached the top 10 so quickly. It usually takes a little while for my new pages to become popular. I also have to call special attention to the Universe is Big one. I love the picture in that one. It's incomprehensible just how vast the universe is.
My Autogyro History & Theory page made the list in November, but not December. It's not that it had substantially less traffic, just that other pages had so much more. Actually, it was way down in December - 23rd if I counted right.
Traffic was still up, but I suspect a lot of that was spammers. I had a few hundred spam comments get through in just a couple days. I have a pretty simple spam protection set up - just a very simple text box that has to be filled out correctly per instructions directly above the box. It's the same instructions and box on every page, so I guess once one spammer figures out the word, they can pass it along to all the other spammers they work with. Anyway, I changed the word and the spam actually making through the filter dropped off almost entirely. That ought to work for a few months, at least.
Anyway, here were the ten most popular pages on this site for the end of 2013.
