One benefit of having a blog is getting a look-see under the dashboard. The stats there are a barometer of sorts. What are people thinking, what are they interested in?
Every day I get a few hits that came from search-engine queries. I can’t tell who entered these search terms, but I can see what was asked.
Without doing anything in particular to goose my SEO, I see lots of interest in Mérida real estate prices, crime, gay life, La Pianista, Sarteneja and La Cochera. At one point, I posted an item wishing for a live Mérida cam. Ever since, I have snagged search-engine queries looking for one. What’s odd is how many people search “imagine merida” rather than just typing in “imaginemerida.com.” “Washington Post” gets me hits because one of my first posts was a story that newspaper published about Mérida. I get my share of House Hunters queries as well. And isn’t it interesting how many people are searching for skyscrapers in Mérida.
