It's always interesting to see these reports! Also, as I'm commenting, there's two of these articles posted. Thanks, Myr!

A few for Genre and a few for Sub-Genres and then copy and pasting.

Not to make light of all the work that went in behind the scenes to make this report possible.

Thank you for putting these reports together!

It’s great to see these reports come to my email, it lets me know what’s popular in each genre. I find it interesting how many of them appear in more than one category based on how much they’re liked.

These are great. It gives us a chance to see what's popular with other people.

Glad you've automated the sorting processes so 'push a button' does a lot of the work. Like others, I appreciate the reports! I find the compilations from the three previous months to have greater validity. Suggest making every report from a 'rolling' prior three months instead of the formal quarterly periods. IE: the bigger the database the better.

A comment about your Search engines. to give credit to Nifty, they produce results based on individual words, including from story copy. So one can look for "Frigate" or "Australia" and see everything containing the word in an author's name, story titles, or the stories themselves. Sure there are some extraneous finds, but one is sure to some appropriate listings as well.

You say without support from your Premium members you'd have to close G A . If that happened I would be deprived of an important library of reading material. So I will send a new amount shortly.

Thanks a lot for providing a sophisticated website that encouragers (and accepts) only well-written materials.

I'm not sure what you are getting at? Our search engine returns the same. I just looked for Frigate and got plenty of results... including your post and multiple stories.

Negative. I've experimented a lot with this and Rolling 3 Month doesn't capture trends or interesting new things. It is far healthier for our authors to have more time relevant exposure in our weekly emails (which show the previous 30 days). I will continue to do longer term posts like this one that capture a longer term, more stable snapshot. I will also do a yearly wrap that looks back on the whole year.
