Yesterday, I went roaming thru my blog post stats and found some very nice ranking results. Like I'm ranking posts in the top 3 out of millions in Google search results, and with posts that have staying power (they're old and still rank high.)
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 on Rebecca Kennedy (and on Backseat Lawyer and Everyday Simplicity, 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 ranking 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 ranking results as recorded by StatCounter. For some, I saved the ranking 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 ranking 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?
ranking 2 out of 1.75 billion for a two month old post
1,750,000,000 and my post ranks number two, after being published in June 2009 (see no. 1 under Backseat Lawyer).
The second largest search result?
ranking 3 out of 77 million for a 3 year old post
77,300,000 and my post ranks 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.
