Looking over the past year's statistics, my ten most-read articles of 2017 (ignoring articles from prior years) were:
10. Merkel's Historic Folly
9. Historians Run Amok
8. Erdoğan to Me: Stay Out of Turkey
7. No to Bombing Syria
6. Florida Museum Celebrates the Loss of Hagia Sophia
5. Italy's Apocalypse
4. Will Trump Turn Against Israel?
3. Linda Sarsour, The Left's Latest Star
2. The Way to Peace: Israeli Victory, Palestinian Defeat
1. Smoking Out Islamists via Extreme Vetting
(The statistics above concern only DanielPipes.org, not postings, for example, at National Review Online or the Washington Times)
Comments:
(1) With 4 articles on Muslims in the West, 2 on Turkey, 2 on Israel, 1 on academics, and 1 on Syria, the list nicely reflects my main interests.
(2) The early months have an obvious advantage over the last ones, with 8 out of 10 articles dating from January to May.
(3) The vetting piece has just 1.5 percent of the views of the biggest crowd-pleaser, Arabian Sex Tourism from 2005.
(4) For a prior year's analysis, see 2015's Hits at DanielPipes.org. (December 31, 2017)
