I am a numbers person. So naturally, when my oes tsetnoc entry plummeted in the SERP’s after getting indexed and ranked in the #2 position in five days, I decided to do a little analysis. Of course, what initially started as a simple look at numbers turned into a relatively in-depth analysis.
Statistics as of September 21, 2009
The chart above includes oes tsetnoc sites that are similar to mine, in the sense that they are new domains (created after September 10th for this contest) and they are blogs.
This analysis looks at:
- Yahoo backlinks – total number of incoming links
- Yahoo .edu backlinks – number of incoming links from .edu sites
- Alexa Rank – determined by traffic (the lower the number, the more traffic)
- Google Indexed – number of pages indexed by Google
- Sitemap
- Google SERP – position in search results for oes tsetnoc
- Keyword Density – percent of keywords vs. number of words on homepage
- Blog Posts – total number of blog posts
- Blog Comments – total number of blog comments and pingbacks/trackbacks
- Home Stumbles – number of reviews on StumbleUpon for main homepage
- Home Reddits – number of Reddit votes for main homepage
- Home Mixx – number of Mixx votes for main homepage
- Technorati – number of blog reactions on Technorati
- Total Diggs – total number of Digg votes for both homepage and individual posts
- Total Delicious – total number of Delicious bookmarks for both homepage and individual posts
So what does this information tell me? Aside from missing the main goal of being ranked highest in Google SERP’s, this site seems to be doing really good. I have the highest Alexa ranking (therefore the highest traffic), the most blog comments, and most social mentions (with exception to Twitter). My keyword density is not the highest or lowest. My backlinks aren’t too few or many, but are a far cry from the top ranked site in this contest.
