Used metrics to qualify a blog post as "popular"

[JR6]

Hello,

i am wondering how the hubl function blog_popular_posts work.

I am able to use this function without any problems but it is like a little blackbox for me.

Which metrics are used to qualify a blogpost as "popular" ?
Is it only clicks? session time? bounce rates?
How are those metrics weighted if there are more than one?

Can someone please provide some information about this?

With kind regards,
Jan R

Hi @JR6 

I believe that the popular posts function/module is driven simply by views: Add a listing module of the most popular posts on your blog 

Hope this helps?

Ah yes. the first sentence on this article describes this behaviour.
I wonder how i couldn't find this by myself. Thank you.
