Welcome to 2021. A new year and yes a new beginning as Candid Conversations begins to wake up from a long sleep.
I have not posted in quite some time, but this year that is going to change. As I start 2021 I am beginning to look at new articles and yes also a new plan to get this blog noticed and monetized.
For now lets have some fun. Last year the blog with no new posts recorded 830 visits WOW. The record was set in 2017 with an outstanding 5K in total visits. That was truly amazing.
It really comes down to the great interviews that have been posted here on this site.
I would like to specifically point out 5 of the most visited articles on the site. From 5 to 1 they are as follows:
5. The Smallest Show On Earth. Walt Noon chatted with me about his Flea Circus in 2011. This fun article about Flea Circuses ranks in at 5 with 849 views to date. The last known visit was 3 months ago, so this article just keeps on jumpin just like the fleas in Walt's circuses.
4 Robert Ferringo spoke with me about sports betting. It was a conversation that was done 9 years ago and does get visits to this date.
3. Chris Pavlicch spoke with me about his project 1 Million Pixels. The article was published in 2012 and it was about his plan to raise 1 million dollars by selling a pixel in order to start a charity. All time this article has reached 942 views. Nice. I should see if he got that million and if my article helped.
2. I did an interview with Robert Barrows, the topic is kind of grim and interesting. Video Enhanced Gravestones was the topic, no kidding, and this conversation with it's 1.2K views still has legs. Yes it's still an actively read article today and it was created 10 years ago!
1. Sitting at the top spot is an article that held it's own up until recently. With almost 1900 views it's an interview with Scott Carlson of Skyscanner on the topic of where one can smoke and where you can't. I wonder if they still do that today?
Well that is it the top 5 Candid Conversations. Lets see if we can really knock out a big batch of views this year. 21,00 would be nice.
Thanks for stopping by and reading. I may do one or two more of these while I look for some new material. Maybe the top 5 most interesting, in my opinion, that are on the site.
For now take care stay safe and happy 2021.
