Most Popular Articles in 2012

December 18, 2012

Every year I like to review the web stats to see the top articles (by page views), most downloaded files, most searched keywords, etc. It is always an interesting exercise to see what people are most intriguted by each year. It is no surprise that the cover feature articles published earlier in the year usually are at the top as they have the most time on the site compared to articles published later in the year. Also, topics like radar, power amplifiers and RFID see to be popular each year. However, this year some of the top articles were published mid to late year and still topped the list. Here is a list of the top 12 most viewed articles on the site this year.
