There is some science/art to gaining readership on your blog. One of those is to write more about areas that people are searching for. That, for me, is a scary proposition. In the last week the phrases that have gotten the most search hits for this blog are:
- 7 hits for I Want to Kill Obama
- 4 hits for Breaking Up Online
- 4 hits for MoxieLife, and
- 3 hits for "Atheist Bus"
It is a bit disconcerting to me that a small post that I wrote about the Arkansas boy (being from Arkansas this mattered to me) that was charged with creating a plot to kill Obama - he and his Tennessee friend who is now fighting the court system saying that his jury wasn't "white enough". This was a small post - not a plot or plan for me to kill Obama. It scares me that this is even being searched on.
Breaking up online: that refers to my daughters ex-boyfriend changing his status on Facebook before having the balls to talk to her. I don't suggest that breaking up online is a good thing either and that people are searching on this (this comes up most weeks) is a sad fact that people hide behind their screens rather then deal with people one on one.
MoxieLife is a no brainer - I live one and write about it so that could be friends, family or people who just want a life filled with more Moxie.
I do love that Atheist Bus has made the move up - I love the idea of advertising the Atheist idea in public. I put it with the idea of Harvey Milk with the GLBT community coming out to friends and family and then there will be less discrimination because it is harder to discriminate to groups when when you know someone in that group. If more of us came out as Atheists perhaps it won't be too long in history when we can have an elected official be an Atheist and not be afraid that they won't be elected.
So, what are they searching on your site for. You can find out by having Google Analytics search your site - It is an odd thing how people land on your front door and I have to say I am glad it s my cyber door and not the one on my home as these searches are kind of scary.
