With 2020 finally behind us, I’m continuing my tradition of taking a look back on the blogging part of my year. It was a crazy year in so many ways, but apparently there was one bright side: 2020 was good for blog traffic. Like An Anchor received almost 300,000 more views last year than in 2019, so thank you all for reading so much!

Posts With The Most Traffic

This year, my posts about fictional characters’ personality types took over the list of my top 10 most popular posts. Also, my article about being strong in the Lord (which has always been my most popular Christian post) made the top 10 this year. I suppose it was a topic that people felt was particularly relevant in 2020.

Top Christian Posts

My Myers-Briggs® posts are popular enough that they push most posts on other topics out of the top 10 for the year. Quite a large number of visitors come to my blog for the Christian content, though, so I thought those posts deserved a special mention. Here are the Christian-themed posts that saw the most traffic in 2020.

1. What Does It Mean To Be Strong In The Lord?
2. Water, Spirit, Fire: The Three Baptisms of Christianity
3. Mercy and Truth Meet Together: INFJ Christians
4. In The Secret Place: The Promises of Psalm 91
5. As For Me, I Will Serve The Lord: INTJ Christians
6. That Which Every Joint Supplies: INFP Christians
7. Reasons to Pray: Building Relationship With God
8. To Seek And Search Out By Wisdom: INTP Christians
9. All Your Heart, Mind, and Soul: ENFP Christians
10. Letting God Define You

Countries My Visitors Call Home

Instead of doing a top 10 list this year, I’ve included every country that’s home to at least 5,000 of my visitors. There are also dozens more countries not on this list–too many for one short blog post. I can’t tell you how much I love looking at the stats and seeing so many different flags listed next to the views that WordPress tracks.

1. United States
2. United Kingdom
3. Canada
4. Australia
5. India
6. Germany
7. Philippines

So we’ve come to the end of another year, which means another year-end blog recap in the form of top 10 lists. I wrote in last year’s recap that one of my big goals for 2019 was to continue growing my blog. That certainly happened. Traffic increased significantly between last year and this, and I want to thank all of you for visiting my blog and for sharing my posts with your friends. It means so much to me ❤
