Many different topics are approached here on Beyond the Rhetoric and some are more popular than ever. As we bid adieu to another year, I thought it would be appropriate to take a look back at the year that was, keying in on the blog posts that received the most traffic.
To make things as fair as possible, I looked at each month individually. Posts that were published toward the beginning the year have an advantage over those published later, simply because they’ve been around longer and, thus, had more of an opportunity to get page views. I also only looked at blog posts from 2013, though it is worth noting that the Grammar 101 series was the most popular overall, even if none of the ones from this year took the top spot in their respective months.
One other trend that I noticed was that my restaurant review posts were particularly popular in 2013. We all like good food, I suppose.
