‘Rails Ajax Radio’ - HitTail suggestions
In the last few days, I have been using HitTail to make capture my search referrals. HitTail supposedly analyzes your queries with the intent of isolating which searches lead to your blog which you could easily rank for with well-written articles.
The reason HitTail works is this: picture your blogs index page. There are five or 6 or more entries on each page of the index. This mishmash of content is indexed by the search engines, leading to queries coming in which may use words taken from multiple seperate posts.
If searches are coming in based on multiple posts’ content, chances are the keywords used are related to the theme of your blog, and so would make easy targets to rank for. HitTail isolates which incoming searches would be easy to rank for.
So, when the posts which were together on the index page eventually drift off, you can maintain your ranking for that term by creating an article using that keyphrase.
So far, HitTail has only made one suggestion for me - ‘rails ajax radio’. With luck, and a couple days more traffic, HitTail will hopefully provide a few more suggestions I can work with. If you are a blogger, give it a try!
I use HitTail; have been for a couple months. So far, I think it suggested I use “Fergie”, or something like that. So I guess I should turn my site into a Fergie Go$$ip Blog
Yeah, not every suggestion is rock-solid yet. But with enough time, a large portion are going to be right-on. Anyway, we’re curious how HitTail’s working for you now Brian after a month?
