JoeSportsFan Site Report: August 2009

[ The JoeSportsFan Site Report is a thorough examination of the ones and zeros that made this digital juggernaut tick throughout the past month.   The information contained in this post is based on statistical fact, provided by Google Analytics.  As it turns out, some of this inherent truth is more interesting than the mindless dribble you read here on daily basis. Oh well. ]

Top 5 Search Keywords that Led People to JoeSportsFan (in August ‘09)
…because we like to know everything about you.

1.- joe sports fan
2.- softball guy
3.- neg burns
4.- joesportsfan.com
5.- yosemite sam

I have very little explanation for #5 of the big board.  Speechless.  While oddities such as “softball guy” and “neg burns” commonly pop up on our monthly site reports, we’ve never seen “yosemite sam” creep into the Top 100.  Ever.  In fact, in our four year history, we’ve only written one thing about the Mr. Sam - yet in August ‘09, the mustached Looney Tune sent over 150 new people to JoeSportsFan.com.  Search engine land is an interesting beast.

…because pictures is good.  He he, look at the pretty pictures.

More Fun with Keywords

11.- Bob Bobinghanger (a really tall dude that we haven’t talked about in years)
17.- Erin Andrews (a really well-natured individual with tremendous talent)
18.- Zambrano Mows My Lawn (a really polarizing fan that still rubs people)
23.- Fat Drunk Dominant Softball (a really awesome t-shirt on a hooligan)
25.- Painted Tits (a really disappointing way to find JSF)

Our World Footprint
…because if they start up an online Noble Peace Prize, we’re ready.

The image above displays where JoeSportsFan readers/listeners reside.  The darker the green, the more people.  The yellow/tan countries, not so much.  Let the record show that Americans love frequent discussion around “neg burns” and “softball guy”.  So do Mexicans and Australians.  G’day, mates…and hola amigos to those reading on http://josedesportesfan.com.

Also let the record show that our marketing efforts in Mongolia, Bolovia, Paraguay and basically all of Southern Africa were not as fruitful as originally anticipated.

Then again, there’s always September 2009.
