I'm a little surprised to see that my most popular review is for a light truck tire. I wrote the review several months ago but it is my most popular review by a healthy margin, exceeding even some electronic items that I thought would be really hot. In two weeks, that tire review has gotten 220 hits, and another tire review is in my top 10.

What is your most popular review?

My two top reviews are kinda unflattering commentaries of airlines.  It sorta surprises me that people what to read about the downers rather than the raves.

It makes sense to me.  I would rather have average service than terrible service, and thus I want to read about ways to avoid getting that terrible service.  Anything better than average is just icing on the cake to me.

Spokane dude,

I've been averaged to death.  I wanna be swept away with exceptional service.  I know it's out there, ya just gotta dig.

I actually looked at my stats for the first time today.  Mine is Horton Hears a Who which is top 25.  I didn't even write it that long ago.  Cool page.

I think my FitFlops review is linked somewhere because the amount of reads it is getting is just crazy. Considering there are several reviews of these shoes here and on the net, I can't imagine why so many people are going to mine every day. It's over 3000 views by a good amount and it sems to just be picking up steam. No complaints from me but I wonder where everyone is seeing the link to the review. And how I can get ALL my reviews linked there. lol lol.

Mine is for eHarmony, although it has not received any helpful votes.  I'm gonna go review my mattress, though, and see what happens.

My most popular review over the past 30 days has now changed. It was a truck tire review, which remains my most popular review since stats became available. However, over the past 30 days, my review of a flooring material has been exceptionally popular. Moral of the story is: If you walk on it, review it.

Still the diapers....which I wrote over a year ago.  Now that I've started writing more though, the newer ones are picking up steam.

Still the FitFlops and almost 7000 hits! I swear! I have no idea where people are getting the link. Very cool to see the reads go up every day. It seems that pet products are making their way up (flea remedies in particular) as are some exercise DVDs and gadgets. They sure do like bra reviews though. lol.

Maybe they're hoping to see pictures in those reviews... lol

As for the fit flops... I see banner ads for them all the time, so I wonder if people are searching for info on them and getting you.

Well, I've only been writing here for about a week, so I'm shocked that anybody has read any of mine. Well, except for maybe my sister. Of course I haven't had a huge number of reads on any of mine, but the highest ones I have are a camera and a stroller. I'm wondering if the camera one got a lot of hits because I had a picture of my daughter with her hair sticking straight up. Electronics and baby items are probably pretty expected for high numbers of hits, but thought y'all might humor me and read this anyway.

7,000 hits on FitFlops. Wow..mine is still a mattress and I'm still so surprised that some of my electronics reviews, sporting goods stuff just don't have the hits I would expect. Jo

My most popular is my review of the Amazon.com Chase Visa Credit card. It isn't surprising that this would get so many outside hits. Financial reviews often do get lots of hits and using key words like Amazon.com, Visa, and Credit Card is certain to make this review show up in many online searches.

Of all I've written, the top 2 , I think are the Raleigh Detour 3.0 Bicycle and the Zenith DTV Converter Box.

My most popular at 1300 is Behr Paint (seriously?) closely followed by the AAA Fuel Cost Calculator (that makes more sense to me given the high price of gas this summer)

Throughout the Summer, mine has been Continental Airlines.  It'll be interesting to see if that changes as the seasons change.

several months later, my most popular review is still Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap.  I don't get it.

My FitFlops are up to nearly 10,200 hits. Clearly the review is linked somewhere. I am sure that now that the weather is cooling down, so will the hits. But it's really amazing watching them rise and wondering why.

I still don't understand why some of my reviews are way up at the top, expecially Cris Angel Mindfreak (The show). Must be some hardcore Cris Angel fans out there or something.

With a bit over 1,000 reads and 8 H.V's in it's first month of life, my review of the V-Star Classic sits at the top of the list, followed by the Fender Strat review, which has a whopping 101/2.

My most popular (equal helpful votes): a bra and a regional diet soda. The most often read: USAA auto insurance.

How exciting!

In response to LaurieM, I had never heard of inbox dollars but had to check them out when she mentioned them here! Haha. Good job with such an interesting website to write about.

Is that for the whole 12 Month enchilada....the one that only begins from April 24?!?!

 Compared to the 10,200 hits for the FitFlops, my very best (hits-wise) is my Top List of Romantic Movies, with 1896 page views as of this posting.  Figures, because my most clicked-on review at "the other site" is my list of the best war movies.

Ironically, in the 12-month stats, my second-best is my review of "the other site."

Yeah, that number is from April when they started tracking hits. My second review is about half that many hits and it goes down pretty quickly from there as far as hits go. I really don't get the whole FitFlop thing. There are something like 28 other reviews of the shoes here and I am sure there are better reviews out there. I didn't put much effort into that review, I have to admit.

My second most popular review is of the Easy Curves Bar and that is the one with 57 HVs and a whole forum of comments from people discussing the product. It's really actually fun to see so many people on one of my reviews who signed up just to discuss this little gadget. I love when stuff like that happens.

I never reviewed either of those products anywhere else. It would be interesting to compare how they performed elsewhere but they aren't in the database and I'm too lazy to request them. Plus I like to try to write unique things on each site I write for although that obviously isn't possible all the time. I only own so much. SO MUCH! lol.

My most popular review (on a light truck tire) now has a bit more than 2,500 hits. My next closest is at about 1,950 (on a car tire) and then 1,825 (on laminated flooring). What's really interesting is that my review of Wal-Mart's synthetic motor oil has received 636 hits in six weeks. This is for a $3.10 bottle of oil!

You really just never know what people are searching for on the Internet.
