Keywor(l)ds of my blog

Lorelle on WordPress Blogging ChallengeI missed the First Lorelle on WordPress Blogging Challenge [I was hiding under the bed, seriously, no not from my better-half as you might suspect].

So ultimately I crept out and decided to eventually take the Second Lorelle on WordPress Blogging Challenge .

So after doing some soul head-scratching & banging, following are 10 keywords of my blog [or so I thought]:

  • blogging
  • personal
  • browsers
  • technical
  • tools
  • thoughts
  • wordpress
  • worth-reading
  • confession
  • delicious

So first thing under the belt, now is the time for some wonder-wipe [The Great Googling] the keywords and this is what I found:

And I instantly knew that something is wrong here [or maybe everything is right ?], so I went through the list of categories on my blog and started searching for the keywords which I thought “might just make the list”. So again started the wonder-wipe and this is the wonder-wiped list:

Hmm… there were some interesting things that I noted. Like, If I search for blogs instead of blog, the result is only 206 occurrences, and this happens with 2-3 other keywords as well. Since I don’t have any plugin to generate tag-cloud, I referred to the tag-cloud generated by technorati .

So the summary:

  • In 213 articles [excluding this one], the maximum occurrence of any keyword(s) is 209 [blog & wordpress.com].
  • There is a gap between the way I tag my articles in technorati & in wordpress [or are they same ?].
  • Infact there is a gap in my blogging per se.
  • This was a very lengthy activity, Lorelle please give some “easy” challenge next week :)

  1. A bug in this process shows that Google is finding the categories in your sidebar rather than the “keywords” in your posts. There is a big difference and I didn’t think about this. I’m working on figuring out a solution around this, but do check the various keyword analyzing tools here to see if the number changes. I think you are getting the point of the challenge, anyway. ;-)

  2. Or better yet, use your WordPress Administration Panel Manage > Posts to search as that bypasses sidebar content, though it doesn’t bypass manually added per-post tags. I’m still working on a better idea. Sorry.

  3. The Admin Panel -> Manage -> Posts will just return the posts containing the keyword but not the number of times they appear. So I guess that will not fit perfectly with the complete exercise ? Or is that the real exercise ? :-)

    I’m still working with the links you provided will update as and when I’ll get something different to write. But yes, I very well understood the basic of the challenges :-)
