Yesterday, I went roaming thru my blog post stats and found some very nice results. Like I'm hitting with posts in the top 3 out of millions in Google search results, and with posts that have staying power (they're old and still hitting hit.) So, please forgive my intrusion into the usual theme of this blog, but I'm republishing my post from yesterday on my Writer-Lawyer blog here (and on Everyday Simplicity and Rebecca Kennedy, too) as an experiment - to see what happens, stat-wise ....
This afternoon, I stopped to check the stats for my personal blogs and found some nice results. I do this a lot, but today I actually stopped to make a little tally.
I've listed some of them here, and these searches are accurate as of today's date - using only Google. I have results in Yahoo, Bing, Ask, AOL, etc. but I chose only to check Google Search Results and only through the past couple of days results as recorded by StatCounter. For some, I saved the search results in OneNote, but this got to be time-consuming so I didn't do this for everything on the list.
And while I write professionally for several blogs/blawgs, these results are only for my personal blogs - as well as a little tidbit at the end where I blogged for a couple of friends and kept track on StatCounter for them, too. No waiver of client confidentiality here.
The biggest search result?
2 out of 1.75 billion for a two month old post
1,750,000,000 and my post is number two, after being published in June 2009 (see no. 1 under Backseat Lawyer).
The second largest search result?
3 out of 77 million for a 3 year old post
77,300,000 and my post is number three, after being published in August 2006 (it's three years old) (see no. 5 under Rebecca Kennedy's Blog).
Oldest post still getting strong results?
The 2005 post that still ranks no. 7 out of 23,400,000 -- see no. 4 listed under Rebecca Kennedy's Blog.
