Popular Posts Follow-up
After posting about Popular Posts, I must have been hit by some spider, or people are actually clicking the "unpopular posts" links in the sidebar (or in that entry). Yesterday I noticed that I only had 3 "unpopular posts" in that list. The problem was I was assuming an "unpopular post" would have been viewed less than 50 times. Silly me. I tweaked the query to always grab the 8 lowest items (in addition to all the other criteria) by removing the views < 50 clause.
Now my "unpopularity" is back up to an acceptable level.
