I recently read an article series by Jennifer Laycock at the Search Engine Guide detailing her 30-day effort to start a business with no capital. She created a CafePress t-shirt shop based around supporting breastfeeding and milk banks (which I had never heard of before reading the article). She talked about finding a niche but also about search engine optimization which got me interested in just what search terms were bringing people to my site. So I started digging into ShortStat, which I had installed ages ago and never paid much attention to.
I have optimized for nothing, it’s all natural. My main search terms are:
- navel love
- le moving
- dance monkeys dance
- mahat Kakei
- feminist blog
- pastel on canvas
- bed bug blog
- why I love my husband
- pastry island
- gynological exams (with the spelling error, I must figure out WordPress spell check)
Perhaps I’ll give a new stat program a try, or upgrade the one I’m using. What I really like are graphs though. Seeing a pile of numbers doesn’t do much for me, honestly I don’t even remember the price of butter or my own cell phone number, a graphic representation would be gold.
