Help! Why does only one old post still gets tons of hits?

  1. I have one post dated Aug 24, 2009 that gets dozens of hits every day despite its being old and my not using it as a URL in comments, etc.

    http://mosaicmoods.wordpress.com/2009/08/24/working-from-the-negative-spaces-in-life/

    My new posts hardly get read at all so that shows you how few readers I have, which is fine with me. But I can't figure out why this one post is hit on so regularly. Some days it goes off the charts!

    Any ideas anyone?

    The blog I need help with is mosaicmoods.wordpress.com.

  2. I have a similar situation with some old posts on my blogs. When I search the internet I find the links have been posted into discussion threads on forums and online groups.

  3. @mosaicmoods your main stats page shows quite a few hits from people searching for "black holes" and related terms.

    So: your post probably features relatively highly in one search engine or another for searches for that term. (I'd say probably not on the first page of a Google search, or you'd be seeing many more hits).

  4. Ah I see: you're on the first page of a Google image search.

  5. Oh thanks you guys! That was fast! I will go look at these things you found...

  6. Yes, being on the first page of Google search probably is it!
