I never would've guessed
I write about a lot of stuff on this blog. Mostly, I write about whatever interests me; but clearly, I'm also writing about stuff that's related to my work: UML, Tablet PCs, .NET, and so on. I've had plenty of posts on each of those topics. I've also written on comic books, Persian food, travel, and lots of other topics. And I've written a post or two about Hurrican Katrina relief.

But looking over my referral logs, I find that I could've gotten almost the same traffic with just one post. Depending on the day, anywhere from 13% to up to 20% of recent visitors have come via search engines or Web sites that lead to this post on Borders Rewards vs. the Barnes & Noble Member Program.

I never would've guessed that this would be such a hot topic. I wrote that post just because I was frustrated; and now it's my ninth most-requested page. Too weird...
