What are people searching for (on the net)?


Using Google Analytics, it's kind of fun to find out the 'keywords/phrases' people use on search engines, which lead them to our blogs. Right from the beginning, since I started using this tool, to my surprise, there is one phrase which always landed on the top of the list consistently. It is: 'what god says about me'. It's all because I wrote a post titled 'what god says about me' in June, 2007 and that's the post where I get the most number of hits from search engines (The post has only Bible verses and intended for believers to know who they really are in Christ).

Isn't that interesting that people wants to know what God says about them? Though I don't know if the people who search are believers or unbelievers, but I thought it's interesting. People seems to be concerned about spiritual things that they are really seeking, searching and curious to know what God really think of them. On the net, the freedom of being anonymous gives people a chance to seek truth. I think it is like, people think God is hiding under 'google' and ready to give His opinions on them the moment they type it in! There were times in my life where I wanted to type in 'God, do you really love me?'.

But, I truly believe, internet is one of the crucial media where people can freely do some spiritual experiments. Some of it's plus points are - easiness, global availability, anytime availability, level of anonymity etc

For your entertainment, the below is the list of keywords/phrases used by people who visited my blog for a period of one month, with the most number of hits starting from the top:

GoodSearch and GoodShop

I just received the following news letter from People to People Ministries, introducing GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com. Through these sites, as we do a web search or online shopping, there is money contributed to our selected ministry. It doesn't have to be People to People since any ministry (Non Profit) can be added to their database. Hey, if our favorite ministry gets a donation for just using that website for online search or shopping, why not use it?

News Letter:

What if you could help People to People every time you search the Internet or shop online? Well, now you can!

GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to organizations its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!

GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates a percentage of each purchase to your favorite organization! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you'll be supporting People to People.

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter People to People Ministries (Carrollton, TX) as the organization you want to support. You will only have to do this one time; after that, every time you use GoodSearch to search the internet or GoodShop to shop your favorite online merchants, People to People will receive a donation!

Please be sure to spread the word by sharing this email with friends and family! Thank you for using this new opportunity to raise funds to continue broadcasting the message of God's love and grace!
