Or, Nadyne’s greatest hits of 2011: the posts that were most read and that got the most search traffic.

Unsurprisingly, my post about the availability of the vSphere Client for iPad got a lot of traffic this year.  I expect that last week’s post about the new vSphere Client for Mac will hit next year’s list for most-read.  People like news about new Mac and iPad applications. Given that I was getting traffic for relevant search results before the releases of these apps, I’m sure that this will continue.

Some of my Mac geekery posts got more traffic than I expected.  Giving up on Safari and hating the Apple Store turned out to be popular.  I wouldn’t’ve guessed that.

All of my posts about career opportunities at VMware got a lot of traffic, too.  This is very good to see, because my team will continue to grow in 2012.  If one of your resolutions for 2012 is going to be to find a new job, you should ping me to learn about how awesome it is to work here.

User experience posts have gotten great traffic and search hits, such as research is not regurgitation and my post about creating VMware’s first internal UX conference.  My about page is also getting a lot of hits, which probably means that I’m overdue for updating it.  I admit that I’m also quite pleased that my post about search engine optimization is getting a lot of traffic, and I’d be very happy if that continues into 2012.

Also unsurprisingly, a bunch of my old posts about Office:Mac are still doing well in terms of search traffic.  Someone from my old team should pick up the blogging slack over there, since I think that this means that there’s an unmet need in terms of information coming out of that team.  Schwieb, Rick, I’m looking at you!

Thankfully, this analysis of my traffic isn’t telling me that I need to change up a lot.  Posts about VMware and user experience are getting me a lot of traffic.  My biggest learning from this is that my about page needs some love.  I was just thinking that I should update my LinkedIn profile too, so that all fits in together.

What do you want to see more (or less) of from me in 2012?
