(And my initial post was a little in jest when I said "no rhyme or reason"). The unwashed masses are far more likely to be searching for terms similar to "blogger title post" or "strange key keyboard" than "PPPoA DSL users" or "WoW IPv6".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717592062414307952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-7514140598490686252011-10-17T17:37:38.948+01:002011-10-17T17:37:38.948+01:00Oh FFS, someone shoot me - this post has just made...Oh FFS, someone shoot me - this post has just made the all time top 5 with nearly 14K hits.

Although it may amuse you to know that my 5th most visited page is "Help dealing with BT broadband problems" (which even has a link to <a href="http://www.aaisp.net.uk/broadband-support.html" rel="nofollow">AAISP for the standard broadband checks</a>) with 2000 page views a month. Followed by a silly little post on "how to get a pound symbol" which I wrote for a customer once which gets 1,300 page views a month! (I've deliberately not linked these posts... But RevK, don't forget your NOFOLLOW tag!)<br /><br />Yet much more cogent, detailed and worthwhile posts, some of which I spent many hours on, linger at the bottom of the pile.
