Search Terms
I just setup a precision counter on my blogs index page a few days ago. Today, I published the code throughout the entire blog.
One of the more interesting things that I look for when looking at stats is referring urls and search terms. Precision counter shows me the top 50 keywords / referrers, and also the last 10 of each.
So for anyone who is interested, here are some search terms that I have seen show up today:
jib jab - Whoa, 4 searches on this one today. I can’t believe that my mother in-law helped me get these visitors.
blogs about shopping - Yea, like that is all I talk about. Apparently my little shoe shopping adventure with Angel was interesting.
hunting blogs - I was hunting for a dog … Apparently I got a visitor instead.
link:www.blogcrowd.com - Hmm… Someone was checking up on loyal linkers.
mitch hedberg - My favorite comedian on XM Radio.
mitch hedberg listen - Wow, someone else’s favorite.
mitch hedberg review - Come on people, it’s not like he is the only thing I talk about!
san andreas hookers - Cause everyone knows that I’m a true G.
seti blogs - Aliens are looking at my blog for intelligence.
Out of the statistics so far, it would appear that most people find my blog through Yahoo! I am shocked at this finding. I’ve always used Google to do my searches, and everyone that I personally know uses Google. Of course, we are all have IT jobs. I’ve heard the general rumors on the Internet that Google is mostly used by the IT profession. So who is the target audience for Yahoo! search?
