The Chronic Consumer

I was looking through my blog stats today to see what kinds of terms people are searching for. I don’t often write posts for the sole purpose of gaining traffic, but I still think it’s important to know what my readers are after.

The top search here at Chronic Consumer remains “bed bank beyond bankruptcy“, which was a big story back in April, and I guess continues to be a hot topic.

Other big draws include “monster energy hoody” (another post that was written a long time ago), “josh beckett pedroia necklace” (this is for Phiten necklaces, which received a lot of coverage during the baseball playoffs), Mac memory (regarding the new MacBook Pro that was announced), and “asso soap” (for all those acne sufferers out there).

I’m surprised that I have gotten so much mileage out of a few of the posts I’ve mentioned, especially since I don’t write for the search engines and don’t do any meta tags, keyword stuffing, or anything like that. Heck, I probably couldn’t have gotten the 28,000+ views I’ve had for my Bed, Bath & Beyond post if I had sat down and really tried to do it!

Blogging is a strange business, that’s for sure!
