A few weeks ago I was running my monthly Google Analytics reports from the many websites that I manage. I usually don’t look too much into the stats for this site because it is simply a personal site and the number of readers and subscribers doesn’t mean more money I make, unlike the other sites that I manage. But I decided to take the time to look at some of the keywords that were bringing people to my blog. Below is a list of the top 8 keywords that brought people to my blog and a short explanation of how I THINK it happened, and questions as to why and how people are even coming up with these search phrases.
Top 8 Keyword Searches
- Recent Misleading Store Ads – this one is pretty simple. I had a few posts about how CVS was printing an ad that advertised a certain test strip on sale for a box of 25, but yet not a single store even had it in stock.
- Diabetic at Pei Wei – this one is a little weird. Maybe someone was thinking of eating Pei Wei and they wanted to see if other diabetics ate there? Not too sure, but I did find a Fired Up Friday post about places not having many drink options for diabetics.
- I am Diabetic and I still love to eat a lot? – Well, this one doesn’t make me feel too great about myself if that is how people are finding my blog. I have a lot of posts on here about my weight though and my journey of trying to lose it.
- Is my life over when I am diabetic? – Short answer, NO, it’s just beginning!
- sexhollywood.blogspot.com – Ummm….ok?
- “Submit a guest post” – money – seo – Looks like somebody was trying to make some money off of my guest posting week. No shame in it, submitting guest posts is great for SEO purposes, but I would expect a phrase like that on my business blog, Chris Stocker Inc, and not on here.
- Chick fil a diabetic – Ok, this one just weirds me out, sort of like the Pei Wei one. Once again, I think the only post it could be about is the limited drink options.
So, these ones weren’t that bad, but there was about 1,000 other phrases, but these ones were just the most common out of them all. What are some of the funniest / weirdest keywords you have had people enter your site through?
Yep. I certainly hope no one is looking to “chic filet” a diabetic…. Oh well. Hey, I planted a search this morning from Google: “Chris Stocker, the life of a diabetic, is cool.” Love planted search terms. Ha!
