- Article page views

Understanding Guide Popularity
A guide with the highest lifetime page views is not always the guide attracting the most current interest.
VisitNepal360 may use several types of popularity lists:
Most Read
Guides receiving the largest number of qualified views during a selected period, such as the previous 90 days.
Trending
Guides showing a noticeable recent increase in interest, usually over the previous seven or thirty days.
Most Useful
Guides that readers spend substantial time reading, save, share or use to continue into related planning pages.
Editorial Starting Points
Important guides selected manually until enough trustworthy reader data is available.
Bot traffic, internal staff visits and obvious spam should be excluded from popularity calculations whenever possible.
Quick Answers
Popular Guides FAQ
What is the difference between Popular Guides and Featured Guides?
Popular Guides should reflect reader activity such as page views or engagement. Featured Guides are selected by the VisitNepal360 editorial team.
What is the difference between Popular Guides and Latest Articles?
Popular Guides ranks content according to reader interest. Latest Articles displays content by publication date, with the newest first.
How often should popular-guide rankings change?
A rolling 90-day ranking can be refreshed automatically. Trending rankings may use a shorter period such as seven or thirty days.
Why use recent page views instead of lifetime views?
Recent views allow newer guides to compete and reflect current seasonal or planning interests. Lifetime views tend to favor the oldest articles.
What should the page display before there is enough traffic?
Use an editorially curated collection and label it clearly as popular starting points rather than claiming it represents measured readership.
Can a sponsored guide appear in the ranking?
Paid placements should be clearly labeled and should not be presented as organically popular unless they genuinely qualify under the same measurement system.
Where can I find every VisitNepal360 guide?
The All Travel Guides page provides the complete topic-based directory.
Where can I find the newest guides?
The Latest Articles page displays recently published content in chronological order.
Use Popular Guides to Start Planning
