The other day I wrote a blog posting about Google’s Sandbox. It got a lot of hits. On Monday I wrote about Google losing in court to Geico. It got the second most hits for any blog posting yet, even though I posted it late in the day after most people would have left work.
The busiest entry for this blog? Hilton’s Perverted Bedding Initiative, and the follow up posts.
If I had to quantify it in relation to search queries, I would say we get two to three times as many link referrals from “Paris Hilton”, but more overall search queries for “Google” related terms. From an seo perspective that’s a relief….
What I find interesting is that, as a percentage of traffic, people looking for Hilton related materials seem to surf in from other sites more than from search engines. However, people looking for Google related information arrive more frequently from a search query, or in response to blog pings. (I know, wrong vernacular, but I can’t get the right term in my head). Obviously, the stats seem to indicate that people looking for Google related information are more technical in nature.
No wonder they call us geeks. We flock to fast computer programs instead of pretty blondes.
