Best of 2009
December 29, 2009 – 8:34 pmIn the tradition of end of the year posts, here’s some “best of” statistics from this blog for the year 2009.
Next week we will return to our regular programming.
Most popular posts
The top 5 most popular posts for this year are:
- Zend_Acl part 1: Misconceptions and Simple ACLs
- Zend_Acl part 3: Creating and storing dynamic ACLs
- Doctrine vs Propel
- Handling errors in Zend Framework
- Zend_Form decorator tips
Doctrine vs Propel seems very popular, even though it’s getting slightly out-dated. It was in 2008’s top 5 as well.
Miscelaneous
According to Google Analytics, this blog had 232,805 visits and 335,823 pageviews this year. That’s more than twice as much as last year (81,027 visits, 119,024 pageviews), so I’m quite happy about the figure!
I might go as far as claim that my blog is one of the most popular IT-related blogs written by a finnish person. Too bad there’s very little reliable data available on that, but from my empiric research I’d say it may not be completely untrue (feel free to provide statistics if you know of any) - however I have very few visitors from Finland, a mere 1% of the total.

Congratulations on the increased traffic!!
I also don’t know if your blog is one of the most popular IT related blogs but I can assure you that I have been visiting it regularly as a valuable resource for Zend Framework.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all these great posts
Maybe “Zend_Acl Part 4″ could be about the real use cases using even a simple static ACL object; how to incorporate it into models and resources in general, where and how to query them etc. I’ve come up with pretty decent stuff of my own, but it would be most welcome to see how it is supposed to be used “the right way” ™

Congrats on doubling your traffic mate!
Maybe some of it came from my DZone links, hehe.
Happy blogging in 2010!
