What brought YOU to our web site?
Archive - Originally posted on "The Horse's Mouth" - 2007-06-01 06:18:24 - Graham Ellis10 times a day, someone arrives at our main (www.wellho.net) web site for each and every one of the terms in this table. This is an analysis of the search terms used in the 28 days up to yesterday, with the number of occurrences listed against each word.
We often ask ourselves questions such as "Is Perl dying back, and if so what is replacing it?" and "should we be taking a closer look at Lua or emphasising Ruby more on our web site?". And reports such as this - extracted using our web log analysis tools - give us some measurement of an answer; not a complete answer as these reports are highly biased by our site content, but they do give us a drift and - when compared to similar reports from a year ago - give a much clearer drift.
