What Type Of Person Uses The Site: Operator

Posted by Paul B | August 20, 2007 .

As part of the ongoing process I do with every new website I create I’ve been checking my statistics using Google Analytics since day one of this blog. One thing has stood out in that time more than anything else, that’s the number of people using Google’s site operator against www.themakemoneyonline.net

What sort of a visitor does this?
I’ve got no idea but people are doing that search sometimes 5 times a day! The site operator is used to see what pages Google and Yahoo (Microsoft did support it but now appear to have dropped it) have indexed for a particular website. Typing “site:www.themakemoneyonilne.net” into the Google search box will return all the pages currently included in Google’s index. It’s really a webmaster tool, I don’t tend to bother with it much these days as it’s so easy to get indexed by Google it’s not worth checking. If you know any reason why somebody would be interested in running this against somebody else’s website then I’d love to know?

In other news the blog has had it’s first bit of SEO success, up to now it’s been visited almost entirely by referrals but its just had it’s first hit for “blogging and money making“. Considering I’m ignoring my own SEO rules to make it a much easier read I’m more than happy with the results.

My site has been around since 2002 and I don’t think I’ve ever had someone find my site that way. I use it all the time though.
