Howdy Christian Web Trends readers. We turned the calendar on another month, which means it’s time to check our stats and analytics to see what we can learn from them.
Top 10 Search Phrases/Keywords

- qr code
- what is a webinar and how does it work
- what is a qr code?

Observations
- “QR code” -related keywords still continue to dominate 6 months after our two posts about QR codes were published.
- Phrases #3 & #7 are both related to webinars. We’ve got a 3 1/2 year old post that ranks #4 in Google for “what is a webinar and how does it work” and #1 for “webinar means.” Unfortunately, the bounce rate for those keywords is 99% and the average time on site is 1 minute. Action step: see if I can modify that page to better engage those visitors.

Observations
- As you can see, the QR code posts continue to have staying power. The number of visitors for both is slipping though. Action: write another post on the topic of QR codes and include links to the 2 previous posts.
- 7 of the top 10 posts have a number in the title of the post.
- 4 of the top 10 posts were published in Sept.
- 2 were published in the last 2 days of August. That got me wondering… what drove people to those posts several days after they were published? I dug a little deeper and found 67% of the Sept visits to How to Lead Your Facebook Page came from LinkedIn, where I had posted a link in some discussion groups. LinkedIn was also a significant source of visitors for Does Your Organization Need a Social Media Policy?
