No pages at an obscure technical site are ever really hot, but many nowadays attract more than 100 views per month. There are nearing 2,000 pages at this site. Most are very detailed descriptions of functionality in Windows. Though they are the sort of thing that may be the key to some advanced programmer being able to complete his work, they are beyond arcane to everyone else. I am astonished that any of these pages get looked at even once a day.
This site had 24,097 visits in June 2011, from 18,175 unique visitors.
There follows a list of pages that were each viewed at least 100 times in June 2011. The faded titles are just index pages which I presume are viewed only or mainly on the way to others, especially while moving from one Table of Contents to another. Two of these index pages are just the skimpiest of placeholders, pending my writing an introduction. The rank in brackets is from the previous month.
That a throw-away article on an obscure Visual C++ command-line compiler error has languished in obscurity for five years is entirely understandable. That it suddenly gets hundreds of visits in a month is one of those mysteries of how the Internet does (and does not) service the stranger questions of programmers.
