Bloggernacle Hits WordPress.com Hot Posts
Sometimes for the heck of it I check out WordPress.com’s “Today’s Hot Posts” feature, just to see what’s there. On more than a few occasions the list has been completely dominated by titles that have to do with Brittney Spears or other matters related to pop culture’s obsessions.
So it’s interesting to see that Feast Upon the Word’s post titled “New, Limited Edition LDS Quad” made it to the list today. With all due respect to a great project, that’s not something I would have predicted.
The last time I observed something LDS/bloggernacle-related it was Guy Murray’s post titled “176th Semiannual LDS General Conference Priesthood Session.”
Just for the record, if you are not impressed, let me remind you that according to it’s own tally, WordPress.com has 709,818 bloggers. For that post to appear out of that many possibilities, well it must mean something.
Hey Danithew,
I wonder what we are doing to get there. I noticed that we had another post there a while back. According to the metrics that wp.com tracks for us (as part of the free service) we have been hitting just over 1000 views on Sunday (I think days are cut according to the GMT time zone). 1000 views is nice but I wouldn’t think it would put us near the top of any wp.com list.
Also I have noticed that we are doing a decent job of pulling in google searches. Not with high #’s but I was surprised anyway. Here are a couple of recent examples:

we are number 4.
lots of stuff with sunday school lessons will take you to the site.
Its all good. thanks for pointing it out.
PS I took my daughter for a checkup and at the doctor and saw your dad just coming out. I stopped and chatted with him for a minute. It was cool to see him.
