OneRepublic has been one of the major search traffic drivers to this blog. I started writing about them long before they became famous and my blog has been one of the top ranked sites for the term ever since. When they started to blow up after Timbaland released Apologize, traffic to my blog literally went through the roof; I’d estimate that it probably improved 800% at that point.
I haven’t talked about Lost much lately, but I still get a lot of people searching for Lost theories.
I still get lots of people searching for MySpaceSpy, even though the service has been defunct for well over a year now.
It’s surprising to me that people still, to this day, search for UFC 70.
I’ll probably do another post on my search referral terms tomorrow, this time covering the past year. I may start making this a monthly feature where I post results from the past month, if anyone is interested.
