Check out my Top 5
Through the wonder of Google Analytics, we, as blog owners, can monitor what posts or pages are popular on our blogs. It helps us to gauge what type of content is of interest to our audience. Continually reviewing and analyzing metrics related to your blog is one of the jobs of a successful blog owner. Talk to any successful blog owner and they will tell you historically what were their most popular posts. This goes hand-in-hand with the old adage that says:
“You can’t improve what you don’t measure.”
So I would like to share with you my Top 5 pages and welcome you to read them. So let’s get on with it.
- 5 Important Benefits of Time Management for Students – This was a guest post by Adrienne Carlson and ended up being my most viewed page each month. It details 5 benefits that come with a student managing their time. This post also highlights the benefits of guest posting on another blog. If your post is popular, you will continue to get more and more exposure.
- Why I left SquareSpace for WordPress – When I started my blog I used a blogging platform called SquareSpace. I loved it but it lacked much of the functionality I saw out there in WordPress blogs. Also, I found the SquareSpace support unparalleled which made it really difficult for me to leave. But, through the assistance of a WordPress consultant, I was able to convert all of my historical posts over to my new WordPress theme. To be honest, it was the best thing I could’ve done and I’m very happy on WordPress. But, if you are contemplating such a conversion you may be interested in this post.
- 5 Parental Tips for Dealing with College Separation Anxiety – In the past year, my wife and I have had to deal with living away from our eldest who left us for college.

- Cubicle Bliss: 10 Steps to create an inspiring workspace – I have been living in a cubicle for many years as a full-time employee. I put together 10 tips that just may help you live in this world a little more positively and enjoyably. I hope you can take some of these tips and incorporate them into your working cubicle life.
- Guest Writers – This is a page that I came up with upon seeing a similar page on another blogger’s website. What I found very attractive about this page when I saw it elsewhere was that it highlighted a writer who agreed to do a guest post for you. I always supply the link to the post that the person wrote for my blog and a link to their website should they have one. This page has certainly become very popular on my blog.

Hi Jen,
Some may say that this isn’t the way to go with blogging but I enjoy being able to write about what interests me without being pigeon-holed. I’m also thinking about a niche blog about a topic that I am passionate about. I’ll keep you posted.
Best,
Bob
Whats Blog niche would that be, that your so passionate about?
Hi Jonathan,
I am thinking of branching out and also starting more of a niche blog but I would rather not reveal that just yet. One thing I can tell you is that it is food-related which is a passion my wife and I both share.
Good luck with your blog by the way!
Thanks,
Bob
