Giantitp & Google Trends

[Pyro]

Inspired by a recent xkcd strip, I decided to look at the google trends for this very own website. I wasn't too surprised by what it returned; a D&D webcomic has a strong following of geeky readers who also engage in equally geeky webcomics.

One search in particular made me smile though...

Just thought I'd share that.

oh no! our daily visitors are going down!

Isn't that just google searches?

Maybe everyone bookmarked it.

I can vouch for the second column, I read half of those :smalltongue:

Not really surprising at all. I thought we all knew about the cross-pollination with TV tropes.
I also hope the google searches are going down because everyone has the site bookmarked.

[Setra]

If ya look up TV tropes on the site it goes

"Also searched for"
1. TV Tropes
2. Order Stick

Of course 'of the' aren't searched for on google.

The searches for "oots" have surprisingly different results. It seems The Order of the Stick is pretty popular with Scandinavian countries, oddly.

Oh, now I see why it didn't show "TV of the Tropes". :smalltongue:

[Inhuman Bot]

Heh..

We're number 3! :smalltongue:


Interesting :/

[T-O-E]

oh no! our daily visitors are going down!

That's normal for web-comics at this time of the year.

Really? Explain please.

[Ninja Chocobo]

I also hope the google searches are going down because everyone has the site bookmarked.

I don't bookmark it, I just never close it. Yay session-saving.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I have it bookmarked, yeah.

Before that, I would actually type in www.giantitp.com/forums

[_Zoot_]

I bookmarked it.

This means that im part of the problem! I might do some thing about that! or maby not.....

[xanaphia]

I made exactly this thread a few months ago. It can be found http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83273 (here).

It wasn't as well worded as this one.

[Jibar]

Really? Explain please.

It's Christmas and New Year, people are busy visiting family or going on holiday.
O of Commissioned has named it Stupid Week.

[Generic Archer]

Nope, I'm pretty sure overall hits are down not just searches... but possibly explained by a less regular schedule so people just drop by rather than hitting it at least 3 times a week. note too the drop in September 07 when Rich had his 'hiatus'
