While it seems to contain pieces of random postings, it’s underlying purpose is to see how various subject matter ranks in search engines. This blog now ranks #1 for various searches related to ACL surgery, for example, patella vs hamstring. It really doesn’t matter that the rest of my website is about web marketing, photography, and misc other subjects. Because I have 3 or more ACL-related postings with strategically specific titles and supporting body copy, it performs well in searches. It’s been generating some great discussion too.

Another page that does well (a single posting even) is How to Win at Internet Checkers. If you type in Win Internet Checkers, it will lead to my blog posting in the #1 ranking in Google. It’s had 600 page views in the last 30 days, which isn’t bad for a single posting on a specific subject, with no other supporting inter-linked pages.

These pages performed well, despite not having the WordPress ‘tags’ shown. I’ve now added the tags back to the theme to see how the tags impact search traffic. This is the code added to the theme’s single.php: <?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?>
