Just missing the top 10 was 'Q&A: The Evolving State Of Industrial Vending'
So, those were the top 10 articles posted in 2017, but technically, a few older articles actually were more read than some of the above. The following articles were posted prior to 2017 and would've placed in the overall top 10 articles of 2017:
- The 2016 Industrial Distribution Big 50 List: The 2016 Big 50 List was actually our most-read item of 2017, and by a wide margin. This is typical, as the prior year's list always gets a massive readership boost in the weeks before and after the newest list posts. Thus, we can safely predict the 2017 Big 50 List will be ID's top article of 2018.
- The 2015 Industrial Distribution Big 50 List: See above. It was No. 3 overall.
- America’s Top 4 Forklift Manufacturers And What Makes Them Special: This article was posted in May of 2014 and still generates tremendous readership! It's remarkable. It would be No. 4 on the overall top 10.
- Seven Tips To Sell Private Company Stock Without Violating Securities Laws: This was posted in November of 2011 and still was the No. 7 most-read article of 2017!
