December 2012 Top Posts and Commenters
It was another record-setting month on The Stretched Blog with traffic increasing another 3.37%. I was extremely happy with this considering the typical drop off of traffic during the holiday period between Christmas and New Year’s Day. As always I like to highlight the top posts from the month. As you can see from the list below, there were three guest posts in the top 10 and four posts written prior to the month of December. It’s exciting to see traffic continuing to come in for older posts.
- Michelangelo Quote (November 18, 2012) – 221
- The Power of the Next Question (May 20, 2011) -100
- Musical Stretch (Guest Post by Dan Erickson) (December 5, 2012) – 69
