Keywords Referring Traffic – How Dodgy Does This Make My Blog Look?
I did a post a while back on the keywords that refer traffic to my blog from search engine, Google. It’s been a good six months since then and I’ve worked a little bit on the blog here and there to get it ranking better for “Second Life Blog” related terms.
So I went back and analysed the keywords referring traffic to see whether this blog still looks, from its keyword profile, like a dodgy pixel pornography blog! Here’s the top 20! I should probably mention that I’m an absolute Google geek and I LOVE analytics. I know I totally lost cool points then….
Second Life Blog
Woot…. this is now my highest referring keyword. It’s head and shoulders above everything else. As much as I am pleased to see that, I could at least have made a more amusing post out of still getting most of my traffic from “jiggling boobies.” The traffic from this search term lands smack bang on my home page.
Second Life Freebies
This is interesting…. people typing this ‘Second Life freebies,’ and ending up on Pixel Scoop are either landing on a “tag” page, where it displays all posts I’ve tagged with that. It displays freebies I’ve created as well as someof the quirkier freebies I’ve reviewed before. Alternatively, they land on a page about one particular freebie I created. But that’s 2 of the top keywords now being directly SL related. I’m not sure whether I’m pleased or disappointed 
Second Life For Kids Under 13
Ok, this is Second Life related too and comes back to a post I did about virtual worlds for kids, when I was hunting down a suitable one for my young son.. Interesting that people search this specific phrase. Personally, my point was not wanting something like Second Life, insofar as I would never let him loose in SL, but wanting a virtual world where kids are completely safe and can also build or express a level of creativity. That post still remains one of my highest visited and most commented on.
Jiggling Boobs
Woot! There it is. I still get my 4th highest amount of search engine traffic from “jiggling boobs.” I am going to hazard a guess that the general people searching that phrase in Google are desperately disappointed when they land on my post about the Second Life Emerald viewer’s feature. Methinks that’s probably not what they were looking for!
Friend Request Message
A random one to search for indeed but it refers traffic to a post on my blog about how sad the “Would you be my friend?” default friend request message makes people look!
Virtual Worlds for Kids
Again this is to the post mentioned previously about virtual worlds I had researched for my son.
Dolcett
A dodgy one to rank for, to say the least. Again, I imagine people who are searching this term are desperately disappointed to land on my post about Dolcett in a virtual world!
Second Life Dashboard
Again, this refers people to a “tag” page on my blog. But there is only one post with that tag and it’s entitled: “The Second Life Homepage is officialy shit. Like totally shit.” Hmm….
Josue Habana
I feel violated.
Second Life Emerald Viewer
Again, this refers people to my post about the Emerald viewer having jiggling boobies. That post was fun to write. Never did I think I would ever justifiably be able to write a tutorial-ish post about turning jiggling boobies on in a virtual world.
Bouncing Boobs
Again, back to that same post!
Emerald Viewer News
This is another one referring traffic to the post on jiggling boobies in Emerald. Although people searching for that term in the wake of “Emerald-Gate,” probably aren’t all that interesting in the jiggling boobs, right?
Second Life Alts
This leads to another tag page, where posts I have tagged with “Second Life Alts,” are displayed. There’s only one post there and it was a post I wrotein July 2009 called “Pixel Scoop Undercover – Alt Abuse.” It was a docu-parody about the poor lives of alts. Check it out, if you so wish. This was a lot of fun to write.
Second Life Freebies Blog
This takes people to the tag page previously mentioned. I might do a bit more work on the freebies side of it, in light of having opened my little freebie store in world, actually.
Bouncing Boobies
These boob ones keep cropping up. The immature side of me love this.
Pixel Scoop
And the “brand” search is 16th! So much more traffic to be had from boobies – no surprises there
Second Life Emerald
Yup, the same post we’ve mentioned a few times again!
Saggies
I wonder just how disappointed the people who type this in are when they land on my page about Second Life saggies, a random freebie that my inner juvenile loves. Particularly given that the image on here was lost when I changed blog servers over a year ago. Note to self… must go update all lost image posts.
Second Life Drama
There’s a few posts this has related to… though most of the traffic from this term lands on a parody ost about profiles.
Second Life iPad
This goes back to a post I wrote on the fact that the iPad is just an oversized iPhone… without any phone functionality.
And that’s the top 20! I want to see everyone else’s too… come on. I showed you mine!! )
I love analytics because of the completely random searches you have no idea you will be coming up for until you actually go check. I love the randomness of a lot of it. Ubercool indeed.
If you do post your own top referring keywords, drop a comment on here so I (and anyone else interested) can go look!
