The top articles of 2012 on DPNlive

The list is based on actual

recorded hits on each article.

Throughout 2012 all the different main categories and subsections received hits. DPNlive has the technology online to measure these, and the resulting table shows the result.

In some cases we were amazed at the figures! Articles which we thought would attract little attention proved us wrong with strong hits. Others which we felt would be of significant interest proved the opposite.

What did we learn! Nobody can second guess a readers interest which is why we will continue to publish a diverse range of topics as possible. In the end, only you the reader will decide what you like. Not DPNlive.
