2,500! That's right, 2,500 posts!

By Peter Mosley

To celebrate the “2,500th” post on OneDegree – I first want to thank Ken Schafer (Founder) and Kate Trgovac (Previous owner) for their great work and passion.

I'm Pete Mosley and I took over One Degree in 2010 and it has been, and continues to be, a great privilege! I also want to thank FreshGigs.ca for their support and their amazing Job Feeds here!

According to Google, these are the posts that “RANG DA BELL” as far as unique visits go over the lifetime of this blog. A sincere shout out to all the contributors!

I am listing the top ten posts in reverse order – from the lowest number of visits to the highest. There has been a steady, solid, monthly, traffic count here on OneDegree – but these spiked LIKE CRAZY!  

Here's the TOP TEN!

# 2  http://www.onedegree.ca/2005/08/liberty-village.html  (This "number two post" was ranked "number one" since 2005 until the recent "number one" more than doubled <Tripled actually – and still counting!> the best unique visitor tally!)

And the NUMBER ONE post that received the most traffic:

 http://www.onedegree.ca/2017/04/fake-news-you-wont-believe-what-justin-trudeau-did.html

I was really surprised by this! This post came about because I was in a mood and needed to rant about the commotion surrounding Trump and all the “Fake News.”

I think this post proves my point.

For the record, One Degree has never engaged in anything that even remotely resembles Click Bait, nor any other nefarious tactics that increase traffic or draw attention for attention sake. I am pretty damn proud of that!

And finally, to our wonderfully, loyal readers, thank you for your support since 2003!

Sincerely,

mose
