You are always looking at your statistics, to see how people are coming to your website, right? You know you should…
But here is another way of looking at your website and what people are looking for on your site.
You have of course the Global Configuration statistics for Text Search set to on.
And you sometimes look at these searches to improve you website to give your visitors the information they are looking for.
Recently there was a new Joomla module listed on the extension site, its probably one of those extensions that slips through your mind as, well.. just another SEO Plugin..
But it is not, its not even made for SEO, although there could be a slight advantage for Search Engine Optimization.
I will tell you more later on in this post.
This Module uses the Search Keywords that people have used to find your website, and places each of those search words in a special search Block.
I changed some basic parameters in the Module Configuration and see what happens if people use the string “Joomla seo” and hopefully find www.pathos-seo.com :-)
The results in the Module..
Now your visitor can just click on a search word they used to do a further search in your website.
These searches are then stored in your search statistics.
The Search Engine Optimization Benefits
To be honest, I did not see any benefits at first, just an improvement to your user experience.
But that is also a great, if not even a greater asset the just SEO, for your website.
If you also run the Cache Component you have read about before, you will see that the results stay cached on the site.
Although this seemed a bit strange at first, form a cache point of view it makes sense.
I just reduced the cache time to improve on this special module.
Why is this good for SEO than.. because people are more likely to do a simpel search if tis ready for them, just one click away!
And that may result in more page views, a longer stay on your Joomla website! all good things.
A better user experience might bring them back again and again..
You are now even more able to look at what people are searching for on your site and you can provide the content they want.
The module is simply called Search Engine Keywords on you site and installation is simpel, try it on your website!
P.s. the Cache is also helping to keep your keywords on the page, which is also good for other visitors then the initial searcher that provided the keywords.
O, if you don’t see any keywords, you just got into the no-keywords cached page….
Try this search “design cars” and look for www.design-cars.com ,it has the same module installed.
