More Curious Statistics

I think I have officially spent too much time analyzing this blog’s statistics, but I can’t help but comment on one more search term. Regardless of whether I click on week, month, quarter, year or all time, the search term that has landed the most searchers on this blog is “satan.”

I noticed a while back that nearly every day “satan” was at or near the top of the search terms for that day.  What’s more interesting is that I only have two posts ever tagged “satan” (When Evil is Beautiful and For the Kingdom of Heaven is Like), now three.  I certainly don’t write on the subject much, and I didn’t remember ever writing about it until I searched my own tags to refresh my memory.

As I mentioned in a similar discussion here, I’m thrilled to have anyone (and everyone) searching for “satan” end up here.

It just struck me as a little odd.  But, “satan” does bring a little traffic here every day, thank God. :)

    It is curious to me that that many people are searching “satan”??????? I have noticed the people who come to my blog come from some word in the title…and they are from around the world. It is very curious and interesting and I pray in the name of Jesus the people who end up on your blog will get the answers that God want them to have.

    CS, it is somewhat odd, but refreshing in another sense.

    Wilma, it is curious especially since I searched “satan” also to see where I would come up and I got through about page 12 of the Google results and didn’t find me, so they must be looking a lot harder.

    I’m new around here. Still haven’t figured out the tags yet. or the feeds. But,, I learn a little more every day. Nice site, by the way.

    I’m so happy that God is really moving fast throughout the whole world and you are one of His instrument in fulfilling His plan. God Bless and keep on posting.

    I love the fact that when Satan “pops up” God is already there.. Your site may have given someone the seed to question.. I love it!

    You motivate me to do a post on “satan”, “demon”, “devil”, and “exorcism”, just to see what the hits look like.

    C.S. Lewis and the few Catholic priests involved in exorcism I’ve read seem to share the same opinion about the Adversary: not too much, not too little is the best way to think of Evil.

    By all means, please do, I suspect you will be pleasantly surprised by the traffic. Actually, since I wrote this post, there has been considerably less???

    Good luck, let me know about the results.

    This topic is quite trendy on the Internet right now. What do you pay attention to while choosing what to write about?

      I don’t any longer. I used to, but now I just write about whatever I want.
