Top Five Posts on this blog


Blogger has a very nice stats page that it keeps for blog owners. On it I can see what the top posts are on this blog. 

I can look at top 5 of all time, of last month, of last week, and of the day. The top 5 of all time are clearly more likely to have only older posts on it, because they have had more time to accumulate views. But it still gives a good idea of what people are looking at on here. As to the monthly, weekly and daily stats. 

Here are my current top 5 viewed posts on Beckee's Deals.

Top five of all time (from May 2010 – March 2017):



1. closed Giveaway & Review: Skoy Cloths! Ends 12/30: Posted: 12/17/2010, Views: 14131, Comments: 95. What it is: A review and giveaway of Skoy cloths, which I was given to try, review, then to give away a set to someone. 

2. CeraVe Review and #Giveaway!! GREAT prize you could #win: Posted 11/26/2011, Views: 6814. Comments: 6. What it is: A Review and giveaway of CeraVe products which I was given to try, review, then give away a set to someone.

3. New School Years Resolutions: Van's foods and Plackers help out!: Posted: 9/27/2012, Views: 2319, Comments: 24. What is it: A review and giveaway of both Van's foods products and Plackers Dental Products which I was given to try, review, then give away a set of the same items I had received.

4. Lawn Battleship Review (+Amazon Gift Card #Giveaway): Posted: 3/22/2014, Views: 1750, Comments: 1. What is it: A review of my brother-in-laws game, Lawn Battleship. We test played it and reviewed it. Included with this review, I gave away an Amazon Gift card. 

5. #GM Monster Cereal + #Target Gift Card #Giveaway #MyBlogSpark: Posted: 11/24/2013, Views: 1054, Comments:16. What is it: A review and giveaway for General Mills Monster Cereals

What this tells me: If I want more comments and views, giveaways are key. I was already aware of that, but giveaways are also sometimes complicated and I haven't been doing them much, so lets see what is more recently viewed. (The most recent on this list is the one about Lawn Battleship which was posted 3 years ago)

Top five from the last month (Jan 30, 2017 – Feb 28, 2017): 



1. Beckee's Deal with Superbowl Food: Posted: 1/31/2017, Views: 265, Comments: 1. What is it: My thought on SuperBowl Food.

2. Ideas Please! Where would you take Five Kids on Vacation?: Posted: 1/31/17, Views: 220, Comments:1. What is it: Me begging for ideas for vacations with 5 kids (that are different from our norm).

3. Dinner Plans 1/23-1/29/2017: Posted: 1/24/17, Views: 201, Comments:0. What is it? My meal planning for the week of 1/23-1/29. It includes 2 favorite family recipes, "Haole" Haystacks and Sinigang. 

4. Universal Studios VIP Experience: Posted: 5/25/16, Views: 187, Comments: 0. What is it? My review of my family's experience with the VIP experience at Universal Studios. This was one of my favorite posts I have ever written so I am pleased to see in is something people are viewing! Truly it was an authentic experience and review of something I loved doing. Totally un-sponsored, just me being me...

5. Beckee's Deal with Christmas Presents: Posted: 1/2/17, Views: 186, Comments: 0. What is it? My description of our family's movement from "things" to "adventures" or "experiences" for Christmas. 

What this tells me: Well, I post different thing now as my focus has changed from posts on "deals" and giveaways, to more about what my personal "Deals" are. To me this list feels more like me being me. But I learn that my blog readers are interested in reviews of extraordinary, awesome experiences like the Universal Studios VIP post which is the oldest written post (that is still drawing interest this month). Food and vacation topics are the ones I am writing and you are viewing...

Top five from the last week (Feb 22, 2017 3:00 PM – Mar 1, 2017 2:00 PM): 

As expected, lots of repeats here, all the same as the last month, just a different order.

Top Five from today (Feb 28, 2017 3:00 PM – Mar 1, 2017 2:00 PM): 



1. Beckee's Deal with "Top 5" Lists: Posted: 3/1/2017 (like an hour ago), Views: 18, Comments: 0. What is it? My explanation of why I love Top five lists, and an intro into this post. Clearly on this list because I just posted it right before my daily Beckee's Deals email went out. :)

What's the point? Not too much other than it is interesting to see stats on what is being views! It helps me know what to write about. 

But honestly, these are just stats, and I love to hear from you personally. So, if there are posts you particularly like, or topics you would like to see more of, PLEASE let me know!!!

Great new Budgeting blog!

My sister, Andrea, and her husband are very tight with sticking to their budget and they have a lot of good tips and tricks for sticking with a budget.

What a busy day!

Well, there is nothing I would like more today than to just cozy up in my warm house and keep posting deals for you, but as it is, I have to go to what I am praying will miraculously be a dry Easter Egg hunt shortly. (No, I cannot skip it-I am the playgroup director and being ever the optimist, I sent out an email that I would be there rain or shine...I thought it would be shine...) Then I have to prepare my house for the invasion of 8-11 year-old girls that will be coming over this evening. So, I have a pretty crazy day.

So, I will have to leave my email be for a while (it is full of emails that appear to have some good deals in it). I might miss a few deals today, but I don't want you to, so I want to tell you about a couple of MY favorite deals/frugal blogs, and you can check them out if you need a deal fix while I am away today.

I quite literally check about 20 blogs a day to try not to miss posting the deals I really like, my favorite fes are Couponing to Disney, Mojo Savings, My Frugal Adventures, and The Freebie Blogger. For local Omaha/Nebraska deals, you should check out Mom Saves Money, and for local Salt Lake City/Utah deals I like Freebies 2 Deals.

If you see a great deal that you think my readers should see-PLEASE post it on the Facebook page and/or email me and I wil get it up as soon as I get a chance to check back in between events today! Thanks for your patience and understanding!
