   What is your most popular article ever published?
   
   I wanted to see trends in topics that received favorable out of random curiousity, so I was wondering what topic you covered for the hub that has received the most traffic since you joined HP; as well as when it spiked, whether it continually, gradually grows, etc. Thanks! Ill post trends and/or patterns I notice after looking at the info, I studied this kind of stuff in school and love analyzing social behavior .

   My most popular article is THE DARKEST SIGN OF THE ZODIAC-SCORPIO.  This article has 61,594 views.  I am very fascinated by the sign Scorpio.  Scorpio is an extremely dark sign in many ways.  It is dark physically, emotionally, psychologically, even can be dark psychically.  I thoroughly enjoyed writing the article.  Scorpio is a sign of quite unfathomable mystery to say the least.  There is no other sign as dark as Scorpio.  Many readers, especially those interested in astrology, were immediately drawn into the article.   So far I have received 85 comments on the article.

   I've been here for about a year, and my top performer is "How to Remove Warts, Moles, and Skin Tags." My first runner-up is "How to Remove Plantar Warts." A more recent hub on "How to Install and Outdoor Spigot to Water Your Garden" is now second in line on a daily basis--after a slow start. I thought that hub was a loser, at first. (Probably just seasonal.) I guess all this stuff is, in its own way, a bit "dark."

   Since it is the one that has the most views ever, so far in my list, then I would have to say, "How do birds make songs and calls?".

      No, Kathleen. It has the most views but it has low comments and I was surprised one day when it was selected as EC.

   I am a newbie here at HP, but I will share mine. My most viewed Hub to date in titled "Knowledge is Power: 3 Great Ways to Take Online Classes For Free." It explored the differences between Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC), OpenCourseWare (OCW), and other platforms that offer users a chance to access some pretty awesome classes and educational materials.

   On my old profile that was band thanks to another writing site not deleting my articles It was another Science related one on Time Travel.
   
   On the other site (Triond) at the moment my RuneScape articles are doing well but my best overall are all science related.

      Too funny, Kathleen. I think the mattress topper article does so well because it's a product review. I know I always look at reviews before I buy something I'm not familiar with.

      There ya go. You have a built-in niche. Just make sure you put "product review" or "consumer review" in the titles. When I search for a review, I type blah-blah-blah consumer reviews into the search engine.

    It wasn't here, but the most popular thing I ever wrote was on Global Warming basics. The second was on physical security for laptops (they get stolen a lot), and the third of "Top Signs Your Dog is Dying."
    
    On HP, where I'm just getting started, it is "What Women Find Attractive In Men"

       That's not a surge. It's been averaging that or more for at least two years. It ranks high in Google plus gets lots of Pinterest pins.

    Ironically (and a little sadly for me as a writer) my most popular hub wasn't written by me. It's a collection of funny quotes about the Universe: "Hilarious Universe: Collection of Funny Quotes". I'm actually quite devastated by the fact, but what can you do? I can't compete with the likes of Einstein and Woody Allen.
    
    But my second most popular article is all me: "Inside the Inipi: Sweat Lodge of the Lakota People". It's a personal account of my first sweat lodge experience.
    
    And the third place goes to "Healing Chakras With Crystals" - a handy guide to crystal healing. That's the only "how-to" of the three.
    
    In terms of comments, "Pineal Gland Activation" blew the competition away.
    
    Thanks for an interesting question!
