...P.S. Some updated 2014 review page view totals:<br /><br />Turns out I forgot to list Kameron Hurley's <i>The Mirror Empire</i>. I posted the review on 8/27 and it now has 150 total page views. 58 for the past week and 0 so far today.<br /><br />Jeff VanderMeer's <i>Acceptance</i> has 132 page views through two days. <br /><br />Both reviews were retweeted frequently their first 48 hours.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-63000608512377247462014-09-06T12:45:05.826-05:002014-09-06T12:45:05.826-05:00I understand it's much the same when it comes ...I understand it's much the same when it comes to music buying as for publishing: the older backlist is a slow but steady plow horse that sells more than the flashier yet not as dependable new releases.<br /><br />Penguin Random House will never go broke publishing MMPB "classics," after all.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-85849637872947072662014-09-06T11:48:34.997-05:002014-09-06T11:48:34.997-05:00My stats on wordpress are similar.

If i simple check last three months stats, i'll get the top: <br />- Girl with a pearl earring<br />- The Crusades Through Arab Eyes<br />- The Vulture (Kafka)<br />- several books from Italo Calvino<br />- Dracula<br />- O Físico Prodigioso – Jorge de Sena (if you don't know this one, you should)<br />- Flatland. <br /><br />New reviews get hits in the first days, and a few after that. Some older books keep being searched for.

I then filtered them through in the Posts part of the dashboard and wrote down the titles/page count numbers. Laborious, but that's the only way I could collate these numbers.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-21576180698001114562014-09-03T19:03:10.094-05:002014-09-03T19:03:10.094-05:00I don't see these statistics on where I post, ...I don't see these statistics on where I post, so I am curious how much of a long tail my own reviews have. <br /><br />Paul Weimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444942522624902562noreply@blogger.com
