How to Use a Search Engine
Do you type a domain name into a search engine to go to that website? Why wouldn’t you use the address bar for that?
There are so many people that will go to www.google.com, or have it set as their homepage, type in ebay.com and press enter, to GO TO EBAY.COM. Isn’t that strange? Maybe it’s just me, but I really thought the internet was much easier to use than that.
The reason that I make all the fuss is simple. A LOT of traffic to this blog is from search engines and believe it or not, this blog is found by keywords like “subwayfreshbuzz.com enter codes” and “pepsirockband.com”.
Now, I have optimized this blog to gain such traffic, but it wasn’t intended to get traffic via DOMAIN NAMES as keywords. Why are people using Google to find subwayfreshbuzz.com, when they actually just typed in the domain name itself? What happens is that my blog is ranking for these domain names because I put up a “review post” for the promotion or contest.
When users want to go to the promo site to enter codes or check out the prizes, they type the domain name into Google search and hit enter. Guess what? Now, this blog is listed FIRST, above the actual subwayfreshbuzz website. Isn’t that a bit strange? I rank higher for keywords that mean nothing to this site, than the site that is actually called SubWayFreshBuzz.com. Here is a screen shot to prove it!
Well, in the meantime, I just wanted to let all the users that do NOT know to search for a website, that they can easily get to any webpage they see listed on the web, TV or hear on the radio, simply by using the address bar available on most browsers today.
I am noob on blog and have recently built my own blog and now I ‘m doing my best to understand as much as possible about this short of thing. I truly love this blog template, could you let me know what skin is this? Is it custom layout or is it paid one? But I don’t have the funds to have paid design nor got the ability to custmozied template myself. I’m sorry for this newbie question, thanks.
