Our Top 10 Posts (Based on Readership)

Because our new Indexing System is not quite ready yet (we promise it’s coming soon) we thought it would be a good idea to make a special page for our most popular posts.  Of course, we still want you to look around . . . but if you’re short on time, we suggest you start here.

The table below lists our Top 10 posts—not the ones we like, but the ones our readers like.  The rankings are derived from a combination of readership-related factors, including:

  • Unique views
  • Traffic from StumbleUpon
  • Traffic from Digg
  • Traffic from Sphinn (where applicable)
  • Number of Retweets
  • Volume of comments and emails
  • Number of incoming links from other sites

If you’re looking for a true “What’s Hot” list from THEsmallCOMPANYBLOG, this is it.
