Interesting Keyword Search Driving Traffic

Posted by bruce in Domains | 5 comments

I always find it interesting to read through the various terms that drive traffic to this little blog here at BruceMarler.com. Most of the terms do not surprise me and should be expected, domain related terms are obviously no surprise and terms around minisites and WordPress both tend to send me traffic. But I thought I would show some results that caught my eye or were just plain funny, watching how people search is quite the learning experience:

1) Newspapers Closing – This one really does not surprise me and I did a post a while back about Newspapers closing and it has continued to send traffic my way. If people are searching for this then that tells me that this is moving into the general mainstream conversation more and more everyday.

2) Vote for Bruce Marler – This one just popped up today but I figured it has something to do with the voting at Domainers.us. This one falls into the plain funny category. Did not expect to see that one.

3) People see me but they just don’t care – Strange…. What gets me with this one is that I cannot see someone actually putting this into Google and searching for it.

4) Snapnames iphone – Tells me my post awhile back about the domain auction houses needing an iPhone interface was not far off the mark. I hope both Snapnames and Namejet are listening.

5) Famous sites me domains – As much as I have discussed .ME this should not be a surprise, just interesting to see how people search. It would be nice to know if this was someone that had just heard of .ME or a domainer.

6) Bruce Marler seo blog – This one is interesting since I have never actually called this an SEO blog.

7) Premium domain continue to gain value – Now this one we should all like, looks like someone is realizing the value of domain names.

8) Whats nice to see in Missouri – Hopefully this person found the link to Missouri.me

9) begging for mobile phone – This one made me laugh, who actually searches for this. I am trying to picture someone going to Google and type “begging for mobile phone”.

10) Targeting end users – Only had one visit from this term but a very interesting search nonetheless.
