In Case You’ve Been Wondering Who You Are, I Have Some Answers
I imagine it’s the same with other bloggers, but I find it quite interesting – and instructive – to keep track of who is reading this blog and what you’re reading. For one thing, it helps me figure out what sort of information you want more of. (Just for the record, that’s a generic WHO – other than subscribers, I can’t tell who you are.)
So I make it my business to keep track of what pages you’re landing on when you come here, and the search terms you use to arrive. Often there’s little surprise – blogging about particular neighborhoods, like South River Colony, always gets lots of traffic. And sometimes, plenty of surprise: I still can’t figure out how the person who Googled “sock monkeys for sale in Target” ended up here, but they did.
You Like To Search For Annapolis Area Homes and You’re Smitten With the Fifty Dollar House
Many of you land directly on the home search page of the site, which tells me you’ve probably bookmarked that page for convenience. I’m glad you’re looking, because now’s a great time to buy. Is there a home we can show you?
A ton of you have been searching for news about the Fifty Dollar House, which, sadly, you did not win. Somebody else did, and we’re selling the home for her. Perhaps you’d like to buy it?
When I do a post about home sales statistics for the Annapolis area, that draws a lot of interest, too – I need to do more posts like this – as well as posts on subjects related to the Naval Academy. A number of you used the search term “Plebes no more,” a reference to one long-standing Academy tradition.
Search terms about home staging bring regular traffic because I’ve written about it often. Some people end up here by searching for our team stager, Linda Donnelly - the best in the business. When you use her services to get your home looking perfect, we reimburse you at settlement.
More than a few of you are using search terms like ”trustworthy agent” or “untrustworthy agents” and you’re finding us that way since I published this story. Apparently, finding an agent you can trust is in the forefront of your mind, and it’s a good thing.
I’m afraid I must have disappointed the people who ended up here after searching for “math’s chalkboard”, “new home digest” and “bad stockbrokers.” Google must have been having a bad night when these poor souls were directed this way.
You Like a Good Laugh…
…which explains why some of you are searching for bad MLS photos. We have some doozies.
Not surprisingly, lots of you found us by searching for Keller Williams Annapolis or Keller Williams Culture, our culture – we believe – being one of the things that sets us apart as a company.
I can’t tell who you are, specifically – but I can often tell where you work. Some of you are affiliated with institutions of higher learning, which makes me think we attract a smart crowd. I like that.
And many of you work for large government entities. I won’t say which ones, because if you’re reading this blog instead of delivering mail, eavesdropping on bad guys or searching for cures to nasty infectious diseases, that’s between you and your boss.
As for the person who just yesterday typed “do you like living in Annapolis” into the Google search engine, I – for one – love it.
