The top 25 posts on supplysideliberal.com listed below are based on Google Analytics pageviews from June 3, 2012 through midday, May 5, 2013. The number of pageviews is shown by each post. Not counting Quartz pageviews and pageviews from some forms of subscription, Google Analytics counts 240,923 pageviews during this period but, for example, 79,445 homepage views could not be categorized by post.  

I have to handle my Quartz columns separately because that pageview data is proprietary. My very most popular pieces have been Quartz columns. Since there are only 22, I have listed them all. You might also find other posts you like in this earlier list of top posts, at this link.

I have some musings on this data after the lists.

Musings

• Not surprisingly, controversy breeds pageviews–for both posts and Quartz columns. Also, the titles my editors on Quartz gave to columns likely bring more pageviews than the sometimes tamer, more accurate, permanent titles that I use above. (You can see those titles at the links.) Although I carefully distinguish between my own titles and Quartz’s titles, I do not object to their efforts to bring more pageviews by giving the columns catchier, if less-accurate, titles. 
• There is a clear time trend in the data. Later columns and posts have an advantage over earlier columns and posts of equal quality.
• The list of columns and list of posts above is actually quite good at capturing the pieces that I personally think are most important. I also periodically update a list of “save-the-world” posts. There is always a link at my sidebar to the current list. The latest (January 17) list of “save-the-world” posts is given in my posts “The Overton Window” and “Within the Overton Window.” Other than what is in those lists and what is among the posts and columns in the lists above, if you look at “Anat Admati, Martin Hellwig and John Cochrane on Bank Capital Requirements,” Martin Feldstein’s article “It’s Time To Cap Tax Deductions” that I link to, and yesterday’s post “The Ethics of Immigration Reform, Revisited,” you will be up to date on the most important “save-the-world” posts.   
• I am intrigued by the two older posts that have gained ground in the rankings since the last list. Despite the addition of brand-new popular posts making the competition tougher, “The Logarithmic Harmony of Percent Changes and Growth Rates” moved up from rank 15 in February, to rank 10 now. Less remarkably, “Three Goals for Ph.D. Courses in Economics” didn’t make the list of top 25 that came out five days later, but has managed to slide into the number 23 slot now.
