Statistics and key words

April 26, 2006

With so running so many sites these days, it is difficult to always be keeping an eye on the stats of my sites.

I was checking the stats on my Japan Hostels site and found that I was nearly getting 48 per cent from MSN and almost nearly as much from Google.

Then I checked my referring keywords and found my top keyword phrase (non search engine specific) was “Japan Hostels”.

Yep, you guessed it. I am ranking number 1 for Japan Hostels on MSN. I have no idea how I did this.

Now I just need Google to rank me the same and I might see some serious traffic coming in.

    Question for you, I was just trying out my site searching for “free wallpaper.” And lo an behold I am the last item on the first page of search results for MSN. I have no idea how this happened. Do you have any idea? I am wondering if I just got lucky or what. I have done nothing besides just create the blog.

    I had a quick look at: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum97

    and perhaps keywords in the domain name has a strong influence.

Got something to say?
