So, Blogger has a new interface which includes something
resembling a child's version of Google Analytics.
Oh, I know I said I was never going to talk about SEO on
here, but this is too interesting – by which I mean disheartening – to ignore.
Turns out round about one third of the traffic that has EVER come here has come in from
people looking for pictures of Peppa Pig.
Back in March, I wrote a post about said pig, which was
well-received and even got randomly linked to from a site promoting "real
breast feeding" or something.
Ever since, I have been thinking that if I really want to
give up work and write this nonsense for a living, I was going to have to sit
and analyse a lot more episodes of Peppa Pig and think of something amusing to
say about them. I've got quite a long way with this project so far and – even
in the light of this setback - may well return to it in future.
Anyway, the goddam new interface has shown me (from a list of top URLs for incoming traffic) that it's not
my ingenious interpretation of the Mummy
Rabbit/Miss Rabbit dichotomy that has drawn in the readers. No, it's the
fact that Google Images indexed the bloody picture.
So...LOOK! IT'S
GEORGE! DINE-SAW!!!!!! LOOK AT MEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TBH I thought that you always had this, I know that a rival blogging site did it (maybe only for paying customers though)... anyway statement of interests... I come here through your facebook page, which you probably already know...
ReplyDeleteYou could also probably improve footfall if you linked blog to tweeter and just constantly tweeted this:
"bieber, obesity, breast feeding, Cheryl Cole, Asbestos, Portsmouth".
The last two I discovered got many followers after I tweeted about asbestos being found in my flat and I visited Portsmouth and decided to tell everyone what a shithole it was. The people of Portsmouth promptly found and rounded on me. I do not think I better risk going back.
