The weekly email update I receive about new content on the awesome Kewl Doodz’n'Chyx blog includes a short list of search terms that have brought people to the blog in the past week. Inspired by this I thought I’d do something similar with Revyu and publish a list of the top search terms bringing people to the site each month.

You folks all work hard to write reviews but never have any idea if anyone’s actually reading them. Well the good news is that people are. In fairly impressive numbers. The list below shows the top 20 search terms bringing people to site from external search engines in August 2007. In that month the site received an average of 3765 page requests per day, and passed through the milestone of half a million total page requests since launch in November 2006; not bad traffic from a relatively modest 475 reviews I reckon.

Top 20 Search Engine Queries bringing Traffic to Revyu in August 2007

It’s pretty interesting to see what’s on people’s minds, and I hope that these figures give you some encouragement and assurance that your views are actually read. For those Web2.0 fanatics among you, or those of you whose reviews aren’t covered by the search terms above, be assured that there’s a really long tail on this data (i.e. there are many queries that have led to traffic on Revyu just one or two times). Right at the end with just one referral is “fratboy tags”. I can’t think why.
