Search traffic stats to OzzieSport

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 14 November, 2010

I thought this might be a bit interesting so I decided to post it.  Basically, for the period between November 7 and November 13, I got the daily total for all the keywords that led to OzzieSport.  This data is available from Google Analytics.  For every keyword, I tried to assign a league and a team.  This wasn’t always possible as keywords related to writing a PhD proposal aren’t sport related.  Once that was done, I totaled everything up by team to see which teams and leagues gave me the most search related traffic over the past week.  (This is all entirely subjective in that the SEO work I do/don’t do has a large impact on the findability of my blog.  Ditto for the topics covered. Nonetheless, this is interesting to me.)

Yeah, poor Joel Monaghan. His plight gave me a fairly above average search traffic boost. :/

A social media/web snapshot of Collingwood, Hawthorn and Port Adelaide

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 14 November, 2010

Last week, I asked my Twitter followers if there was any team that anyone might data about. I said I’d pretty much be happy to dump as much of the data I have regarding those teams (or athletes) into a document that might provide some interesting insights into the teams. Even if not, it would offer benchmarks for further study. A lot of what I have is random and really depends on what sites I’m looking at, how often I update, how motivated I am get additional data, etc. I tend to go hunting when I have a purpose and those periods see an increase in specific teams. What I need rarely turns out to be what I have but that’s a challenge with creative research.

That all said and done, what my followers requested were Collingwood, Hawthorn and Port Adelaide. The links below are to the pdf files containing the data I have about them. (There might be a few small things left out.)
