Most Popular GeoPrac.net Content of 2012

Sorry for the delay, I found some problems with my script that generates these statistics. Here are the most popular GeoPrac.net articles that were published during 2012. I have pro-rated the total number of hits based on how long they have been published. That might give a bit of an edge to articles published more recently, but the alternative would bias towards those articles published earlier in the year. At any rate, enjoy!
