I’ve been reading a lot of these “most popular posts of 2009″ rundowns, which got me thinking. Aren’t all most popular posts really only self-fulfilling prophecies? For example I have the something in the sidebar about the most popular posts over the past 60 days. Once something make it into the bottom spot it gets more traffic and moves further up the list, until it it is older than sixty days and is removed.

Regardless, here are the most popular posts of 2009 from my blog. Some were obvious attempts to game search engines and generate more traffic. The popularity rating is a combination of views, searches, comments, trackbacks, etc., that is automatically tracked for all posts. The percentage next to each post is the relative popularity rating out of a maximum of 100.

For those of you who remember the quality VH1 show Tool Academy, you will remember this guy. Matsuflex, the contestant who made it to the finale before being eliminated is launching Team Matsuflex. The video never really explains what Team Matsuflex does, all it keeps saying is “Join the Revolution.” The video is unintentionally hilarious and if you are really interested, he is selling t-shirts on his web site.
