My two most read posts is the one where I link Hovind with the tax protester movement, and the one where I tell the difference between percentage and percentage points. Fairly boring stuff. </p>

<p>Thanks for your kind comments and I’m glad you like the blog. I only hope I can keep up the standard you’ve come to expect. Well, the volume probably won’t be as high as in the first year, but I’ll try to keep the quality high.</p>
<p><b>To Kristjan and Bronze Dog</b></p>
<p>Until this recent flurry around the blind man post, my most read posts were “What The Bleep” and “The Secret” – most people finding them through Google. The conclusion is that if you want traffic, write critical posts about popular New Age garbage. Of course, you’ll then “attract” (ha!) some of the most destructive and vitriolic commenters from around the world, but I guess nothing’s for free.<br />

<p>Indeed -- as a reader of both this site and Respectful Insolence, I'd say that posting frequency is the only reason I visit the latter more regularly. Content-wise, I find both equally enjoyable.</p>Cody commented on 'I’ve Been Dug!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d83528547769e22007-04-02T05:33:06Z2007-08-22T08:20:43ZCodyI came here from Digg reading your photography post..

Mike Stark at Daily Kos linked to one of my posts at the height of the controversy and I started getting more visitors in an hour than I usually got in a week. Now that the big spike in traffic has passed, my stats look pretty anemic again, even though they are still mostly higher than before. Fun while it lasted.</p>Orac commented on 'I’ve Been Dug!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d834f2754753ef2007-04-01T05:11:46Z2007-08-22T08:11:17ZOrachttp://scienceblogs.com/insolenceCongrats.

Sadly, the spike is usually pretty transient and temporary. My traffic was back to normal by around day three or four. Still, some of the new readers may have stuck around, given that my traffic the month after was up over the traffic the month before the spike.</p>
<p>As for your not having as much traffic as I do, you're doing pretty darned good for not posting nearly as often as I do. I average around 2,500 to 3,000 visits a day during the week, about 60% of that on the weekends. That's less than twice your traffic.</p>Stuart Coleman commented on 'I’ve Been Dug!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d834f2756a53ef2007-04-01T04:51:01Z2007-08-22T07:59:28ZStuart Colemanhttp://stupac2.blogspot.comCongrats!

They tend to like my worse stuff (for some reason), but yours was quite a read. I was confused as to how that post was popping up everywhere, but not Google Reader. It was a nice one too, quite deserving.</p>JPF commented on 'I’ve Been Dug!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451df0c69e200d83527d9fa69e22007-04-01T04:09:26Z2007-08-22T04:07:05ZJPFThe photography post was great, and after browsing around a bit here, I expect to be a regular.
