A lot of my traffic on this site is from search engines. And while I like to think that my site is a beacon of knowledge in the wasteland of the Internet, I get the feeling that not everyone is finding what they were looking for.
Google’s Webmaster Tools lets you see what search terms led people to your site, as well as what your average search ranking is for those terms. Here’s what I have for the last week:
| Top search queries | Average top position |
|---|---|
| suck me | 9 |
| gmail notifier firefox | 8 |
| heiffer project | 2 |
| auto zoom | 4 |
| “fat js” | 2 |
| gahan | 6 |
| bettered | 8 |
| greasemonkey scripts | 14 |
| ufc 75 wikipedia | 7 |
| jemal | 9 |
| drew carey marine | 10 |
| ufc 75 predictions | 4 |
| all my shirts | 6 |
| how can i get back to my desktop | 6 |
| pico pica | 6 |
| all my shirt | 10 |
| not kosher | 10 |
| skagen 396ltmb | 5 |
| first night | 8 |
| all star batman and robin the boy wonder 7 torrent | 9 |
Some of those people got what they were looking for. But whoever searched for “suck me” probably didn’t want an article about comic books. And while I did write about Batman, I don’t host any torrents to download that issue.
So, I’d like to apologize to free-loaders and porn-seekers: I’m sorry Google sent you here, but you’re going to have to look elsewhere.
