I don’t often check the statistics for my blogs, but when I looked at the Mystical Geek this morning, I found out that search engines and my other blogs have been bringing readers to my posts. This is indicated by the fact that this week’s most popular content at Mystical Geek are not the ones listed in the site’s front page. Below are the most popular arranged from top to bottom, the first having 14 page views and the last at 2.

• Transiturus
• Peter Brown on the Dolbeau Sermons and Divjak Letters
• In Defense of the Trinity and the Council of Nicea
• The Johanine Comma

• The Spiritual Senses of Scriptures and the BEC
• Research with Biblioscape
• Note-Taking: High-Tech or Low-Tech

The first four — Transiturus, Dolbeau, The Trinity and the Johanine Comma — were articles I wrote at least a year ago. I can understand how the article about “Transiturus” and “In Defense of the Trinity” are enjoying a lot of views: they are linked from my other articles on the Feasts of Corpus Christi and the Holy Trinity, respectively, which are found at the Bible Workshop, a section of Res Biblica that gets a lot of visitors. The article about Peter Brown on the Divjak Letters and Dolbeau Sermons has been enjoying a lot of hits for a year now since the time I posted it; That is an article that has been bookmarked. the article entitled “To Seek and Save What Was Lost” is an article I posted in November 2005 and is on Luke’s narrative about the publican Zacchaeus. The article has been quite popular and is served every time a search is made on the keyword “Zacchaeus.” Finally, the article called “The Spiritual Senses and the BEC” (March 2009) is easily accessed through the keyword “Spiritual Sense”, a term which is known in certain circles of the web. The rest of the articles above are from the front page of the Mystical Geek. These observations only show that (a) key-word searches is important for getting one’s articles read; and (b) a front page with the latest links to one’s articles also serves well.
