I often see people post search queries on how their sites were found by new visitors. I must admit, I’m always intrigued how people click thru to me. I assume it is mostly thru the blogosphere and that is pretty much correct. However, since my host doesn’t track keyword searches I had to figure another way to find out. With the help of Google Analytics, I’ve come up w/some results. In just a 48 hour period the top 10 keyword searches used to find me:
1.muscle gay
2.porn gay
3.jeans gay
4.gay working man
5.panties pic preview
6.gay sauna
7.butt gay
8.moby gay
9.moby
10.jason staham
I don’t have a clue about the panties one. lol The number one blog referral I get is still from Large Tony. brettcajun takes a very close second place. Of course, this is only a 48 hour picture. I’ll have to revisit in 30 days and see how it goes. I was also really impressed w/the level of detail provided by Google. I even discovered a few things I didn’t now.
1) About 25% of my blog traffic comes from overseas.
2) I get way more non-robot clicks than I realized.
3) I have a huge percentage of ‘return clicks’ meaning folks who visit regularly. (I’m so flattered.)
Isn’t Google Analytics cool? I love reading my site statistics. I also visit MyBlogLog ( http://www.mybloglog.com/ ) to check who visits and where they go.
LOL…that is such a cute (and goofy) pic, Moby. Have a great weekend.
That sounds about right… LT right on TOP of me. 😉 Music to my ears. 🙂
I’ll have to check out these tools. I was laughing my ass off at the popular keywords that bring people to your site. 😉
I tried a bunch of tools, too. I found that statcounter.com seemed to catch more traffic than google analytics or mybloglog. You’d think they’d all report the same thing but they don’t. I have two blogs…the one on Alzheimer’s has a regular international readership so I added a tool that allows you to translate the page into several languages.
ooooooooohhh…..Jason Staham! ooooh.
oh …and you, of course.
Actually I’m fairly new here but from none of the above. My source to you was homer. And not his blog. He told me stories about you when I visited him a few months ago. I got a wild hair and looked you up. You’re now one of my regular-reads.
Gavin ~ I’ll check it out and see. Thanks
cscfon ~ homer huh? Stories? hmmmmm…
I found you thru Brett. Found Brett thru Tornwordo. Found Tornwordo doing a search for AI. He must have mentioned something about it in a blog. Until then, I didn’t even know what a blog was. I read you all to get a glimpse into a world where I have no place. Uh-oh…pity party, table for one…and it’s only Monday. Frak frak frak.
