I don’t know about you guys, but March just flew by for me.  We’ve been having beautiful weather here in general although we’re currently experiencing a bit of a snowstorm.  But then it’s supposed to be nice again by the end of next week, so I can’t really complain.  Things are generally going well for me and I’m super excited about Game of Thrones Season 5 premiering next Sunday (because I totally haven’t mentioned that before).

Stats-wise March was okay.  I received a total of 5,708 views with 3,549 of those being unique views.  That’s up from 5,169 views in February so things are looking up.  I expect as soon as Game of Thrones begins to get more hits than usual because of my SEO-heavy article (completely by accident, I assure you).  And here in April I’m hoping to do another Game of Thrones article as well as another Forgotten Figures article.  It’s been quite a while since I’ve done articles on either topic but I feel I’m ready to sink my teeth into both fantasy and history once more.

So what were some of the best articles this month?

1.  Why Girls Hate Game of Thrones—A Rebuttal

2.  How to Read 100 Pages in an Hour

3.  The Hunger Games and Ancient Rome

4.  The Mad Reviewer is Open to Review Requests (Temporarily)

5.  Why no Writer Wants to Tackle Chronic Pain

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!  I can’t believe that the Game of Thrones article was once again #1.  But in all seriousness, I’m really not all that surprised with the top 5 articles this month.  I’m getting lots of links from class wiki pages on my Hunger Games article and my speed reading article has always been popular because it’s something a lot of people aspire to.  Maybe next month a new article will actually appear in the top 5.

What were the worst posts this month?

1.  The Return of the Weird Search Terms

2.  Discussion: Blogging Pet Peeves

3.  Sins of the Lost by Linda Poitevin

4.  The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

5.  Crashed by Robin Wasserman

Meh.  Once again there are no real surprises here.  My reviews of Crashed and The Historian have appeared on the 5 worst list before and I’m sure they’ll appear on here again eventually.  They’re just not all that popular in terms of search engine traffic.  Which is fine because they’re definitely balanced out by the insane amount of search engine traffic I’m still getting on my usual top 3 posts.  As I’ve said before, they’re all pretty good books.  They’re just not that popular.

Well, that pretty much sums up my March.  How was yours?  Which articles of yours get the most search engine traffic?
