Looking at the list, it seems that most of their traffic comes from Google searches. “Ideal quarterly investment letters” is probably an exception because I share this post often.

Fourth quarter 2013 top posts
Here’s a sampling of my most popular blog posts published during the fourth quarter of 2013. Yes, I know that was a long time ago. I’m just catching up.
- 6 lessons from my book writing experience <–Read this if you’re thinking about writing a book!
- Make an email sandwich for introverts
- Ammo for your plain-language battle with compliance
- Q&A with Michael Kitces of Nerd’s Eye View
- Q&A format for articles: Good or bad? <–This article attracted more eyeballs than is apparent from these statistics because it was also published on Ragan.com
It seems ironic that my blog post questioning the value of the Q&A is followed by the first in my Q&A series with advisors who blog. However, you’ll notice that I keep the Q&As short and I edit them. Readers’ response has been encouraging.
