My Most Popular & Least Popular Blog Posts of 2018

Another year has come to an end! I hope you all had a wonderful 2018 and an even more wonderful 2019. Thank you so much for following Have Clothes, Will Travel through this year – I appreciate each and every one of you taking time out of your days to read my posts.

And as I did last year and the year before, I put together this post to show which of my blog posts were hits and which were flops this year. This will be a list of the posts that had the most page views in 2018, and I’m also going to share my least popular ones. (3 least popular & 10 for the most popular.)

I’m only going to be including the posts I personally wrote on this blog, and I’m not limiting the popular posts to when they were published…some of these posts were some of my very first posts on this blog that just took off! It’s always fun to compare these numbers at the end of the year. This year was especially interesting because it’s the first year that the majority of my top posts are travel posts and not outfit posts. That’s actually exciting for me, as I really enjoy writing the travel posts and really hope they help others with planning their trips (or just inspire some good ole wanderlust)!

So, without further ado, here’s my popularity list of 2018, starting with the least viewed.

Least Popular Blog Posts of 2018

3.) How to Spend 2 Days in Queenstown, New Zealand

I’m totally OK with this post not having that many views! I’ll take it as that means most folks have more than 2 days to spend in Queenstown. 😉 And thank goodmess for that! Queenstown is incredible.

2.) Here’s What to Expect Before Taking the Green Tour in Cappadocia, Turkey with New Goreme Tours

Unless you’re heading to Cappadocia, Turkey in the near future, this blog post wasn’t entirely relevant to anyone else. So, I understand why it’s not up there too high yet. (And it’s only been published for about a month and a half, so hopefully, it’ll pick up steam next year.) However, it was my favorite day in Cappadocia! There are so many cool things to see on this day trip.

10.) We Bought a House!

Holy smokes! This feels like a lifetime ago! We bought our first house this year….and then moved to Russia, as you do. I’m really happy we were able to spend some time at our home over the holidays. It was wonderful to have our own tree this year (thanks to our parents for surprising us with that!) and our own bed to sleep in!

9.) 10 Gift Ideas for the Person Who Has Everything

I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of surprised this one is on here. I know it had decent traffic when I initially published it (in 2017), but I didn’t realize just how much it must have been viewed throughout this year. Cool!

1.) 15 Online Stores Similar to ModCloth

Ah, and sadly, this one is still number one. I LOVE ModCloth, however, having some alternative websites is nice not just for variety, but because of GDPR regulations Modcloth is not available in the European Union. (I’ve also been asked a lot why I can still order ModCloth then – and to answer that question, Russia is not part of the EU.) Also, this brings up a whole other can of worms. If anyone is ever interested in learning more about what GDPR means, and why some businesses are not “compliant.” I’m really thinking about writing a blog post about it…
