Been a reader of your blogs for about 4 months now……

As curious you are about Google, i am too…..started blogging about 6 months ago, my agenda was to write about technology in terms of hardware and software for storage industry. As i wrote about these topics, the google ranking on pages etc kept on getting better. Same with the home page.

Again it was never my intention to drive more search engine traffic, but as i started seeing those results, i kept on getting greedy. Today as i blog, i do tend to use technical terms a lot that would pickup itself in google.

The blog gets a lot of direct hits, but a lot of it comes from google, atleast 65% of it. Yahoo was the next in line.

My bad, i changed the domain name from datastoragewiki.com to storagenerve.com (10th of jan, 2009) and have to go through the process of re-indexing with google and yahoo again. But it does show how important these search engines are these days to drive traffic.

Rather than thinking about all the traffic that it drove to the blog, i started analyzing, what are the keywords people are using to search on google where my blog gets listed, like the technological keywords. Today as I write blogs about technology, i do write it with technical terms. it is not just to drive traffice to the blog, but to see what a user or a reader is interested in.

Also based on that data, we could analyze what sort of machines are located where in the world, i have a blog about it, if you feel interested, here is the link to the blog….. http://www.storagenerve.com/2008/12/concentrati…

If possible, i would highly recommend lijit, again good tool to see what your users what to read. Oh…..i think some of the information about also comes from google webmasters tool….here is the link…..https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

Thanks Steve….again great reading your blogs…..

And I must say, as an old UNIX and perl hand, I loved the regular expressions!
