The Odd Things People Search For

I noticed today that the word “penis” or a phrase conatining the word “penis” brings the most people to this blog, and specifically the post “The Penis Threat Level [The Daily Show].” While CHMODing with Dreamweaver is still popular, it’s dropped to 2nd place… behind penis.

Just for kicks, here’s the top 10 search terms for the last 30 days in descending order for this blog… the word penis almost doubles the number of hits brought in by 2nd place:

SEO Page and File Names

Just  a quick note because I thought this was a really good piece of information to know.

As far as search engine optimization (SEO) goes, a file or page name like this_is_a_file_name.htm will appear as one word to search engines like thisisafilename. So its unlikely it’ll be picked up in searches.

However, if you use hyphens instead of underscores like this-is-a-better-file-name.htm search engines will read it as this is a better file name thereby greatly increasing readability and searchabilty (yeah, it’s not a word, but I like making words here at 365D)

I have a lot of good stuff coming and lots of stuff in drafts. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get back to daily posting this next week.
