I was digging through the Google Analytics stats for Ideate, seeing which keywords are sending traffic from search engines. This month the fourth most popular keyword for us is “hard cores video” [sic]. Crazy stuff. So I went to Google and did a search (parental guidance advised):
See who comes up number 5 out of 52,900,000 pages? I’m not sure that we’re managing to convert many of those clicks into long-term readers, but it does go to show that Search Engine Optimisation is sometimes a fairly random art. Somehow Google thinks that we’re a better source for “Hard Cores Video” than 52,899,995 other pages on the internet that mention those words. Wow.
