The MySQL plumbing
Kottu has actually been keeping a record of the top posts ever for a few years now. So there is a Top 100 of sorts, based on clicks out of Kottu. There are 45,000 links dating from May 2007. So about two years of data. Some of the top are just blogs (not posts), like Dom’s blog, or RD’s. There’s still a big enough list. I’ve included some here, and then you can view the Google Spreadsheet here. Note that this is only 1000 out of 45,000, just cause I can’t upload the lot. If anyone wants the whole set or some other output can do. This, of course, isn’t the best posts. If anything it’s the best titles. But it is some data for people, like Cerno, if they’re going about making a collection of the Top 100 Sri Lankan blog posts.

dude, im surprised at the absebse of 69 or the Maharajah. Mising from the bigger list as well.
*absense
On first seeing this I was surprised but I’ve now realised there is only one explanation.
My mother must have found my blog.
RD
How in Hades did I end up on this list!!!?? Nice if not slightly odd surprise. But there are people with hundred of hits per post . I counted 8 post on indi.ca with over 300 hits EACH – that’s at least a total of 2400.
Curious as to how this all ads up
Many thanks for spreading the word btw :) I’m trying to push the human recommended angle over the statistical ;)
oh wt my bad. pp is s right dr @ 64..
What about PadaShow? And The Maharajah?
well what do you know… :)
