Here are the top 5 posts, by traffic, from the two blogs I've kept. And my speculation as to who is still clicking on that link all these years later.
Top 5 Blog Posts (by traffic) of All Time: Signal Watch (as of 12:30 AM, 1/4/2015)
- 8765 - The Giant Eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg: High school kids with a paper to write
- 5168 - Today is the 60th Birthday of Christopher Reeve: People who think they might miss Christopher Reeve's 60th birthday

Total Page Views, Signal Watch: 507,176
This number is higher than I would have figured. And you can't read too much into it. Anyone doing a Google Image search could count as a hit. So all those "Christina Hendricks" and "Pam Grier" hits (see below) start making a lot more sense.

This seems low to me, but Blogger was purchased by Google during my tenure at League of Melbotis and took a while to get integrated into Googliness. Also, Blogger initially lacked labels/ tags, titling and a lot of other features, so that can't have helped create better search results.
Search by Keyword for League of Melbotis
Frankly, the most shocking stat of all to me is that 152 people have searched for "leagueofmelbotis". I suspect that's how some of you used to find the site back in the day if you weren't using an RSS reader.

I'm surprised that the Showbiz article didn't make a top showing. For a while, it seemed like that had quite a number of views.
well, yeah, that is surprising. It IS in the Top 10 all time posts. It's #7 with 1348 views, which ain't shabby.
#6 is about Little Nell, who played Columbia in "Rocky Horror Picture Show".
