As 2014 draws to a close and a new year begins, it’s a good time to take a look back at the blogging year that was. Which posts were most popular? Where does my traffic come from? This is probably more of interest to other bloggers, but for anyone who might be curious, here’s my blog traffic report for 2014.

My most popular posts this year were a mix of cloth diapering posts, paleo recipes, and a review that got tons of repins on Pinterest. Did you miss any of these? Take a look!

Traffic Sources
Here are my top traffic sources for 2014. I’ve provided my overall Top 10, as well as a separate list of the top 10 blogs who referred traffic my way this year. This is a great way to find new blogs that have similar or related content as This West Coast Mommy!
Google is by far my top traffic source with almost twice as many sessions as my Pinterest traffic. Then come Pinterest and Facebook with almost equal numbers, then visits from readers via my emails. Change-diapers.com has a popular cloth diaper giveaway linky that I visit a lot and sends me tons of traffic when I have a cloth diaper giveaway.

I might have to make the pecans. They look so yummy. Thanks for sharing. I don’t think I have ever noticed all the recipes on your blog.
They’re delicious! I shoot for one recipe a week (though I sometimes skip it), so they do start to add up. ๐
Wasn’t it fun and also very interesting to find the top posts from 2014. Always a few surprises!
Definitely! I especially like seeing the top referring blogs too.
your cloth diaper posts have been so very helpful ๐
Happy New Year!
