Think my math is a little fuzzy? You are right. Because some articles have been published longer than others, I thought the true measure of a content item’s popularity was not simply the number of page impressions ("hits" for the layman), but rather the number of page impressions divided by the length of time it has been published.
Some of the popular ones were slightly surprising to me, but if anything is clear it is that people really seem to appreciate the original (and republished) technical articles. I have certainly taken note of that, and in 2008 I will try to step up my efforts to solicit articles from our colleagues. I have some more reflections on the first calendar year of GeoPrac.net and some goals for the new year that I’ll share with you all in a separate post. Again, Happy New Year, and thanks for visiting GeoPrac.net!
