Bali's Greatest Hits
I'm nowhere near as obsessive about checking my weblog stats as I used to be, but I thought it'd be fun to compile a list of the posts that garnered the most visitors in 2007. I received almost 4.5 million page hits last year, which was definitely a huge increase over 2006. I'm not bigger than bOINGbOING yet, but I'm doing okay. Speaking of bb, I owe Mark F. a huge debt of thanks for linking here as often as he did last year. It definitely put me over the top. Thanks also to other big referrers: Coudal, The Cartoonist, Table of Malcontents (defunct)/Ectoplasmosis, and PCL.
So, without further ado, here's my list of the 10 most-viewed Eye of the Goof posts of 2007:
- Tony's Hot Nuts Redux: proof positive that sleazy cheese rules teh Intarwebs
- The 5,000 Contract Hotties of Dr. T: who doesn't love this movie?
- The Psychotronic Guide to Archive.org: my list of free, incredibly strange film downloads
- Gordon's Jet Flight: a nostalgic look at a time when air travel didn't suck
- In Soviet Russia, Tiki Mugs You!: Stalin and Lenin go Polynesian Pop
- Quick, the Mental Bleach!: a jaw-dropping collection of highly disturbing album covers
- Hobo Soup for the Junkyard Soul: the attention of the blogosphere is riveted by a can of 45-year old soup
- X-8's 30 Years of Flipside Tribute: the best punk fanzine of all time
- Shriner Mini Cars: in which I reveal just who's pimping the Shriners' tiny parade rides (post is actually from 2006, but it's still getting tons of hits)
- Plop!: a collection of 24 Basil Wolverton covers from Plop! Magazine
Here's hoping I can come up with 10 equally great posts in 2008!

Thanks, Sebastian. I'm not exactly sure how it happened and I'm not exactly sure if I can repeat it!
