A recent post by Aaron Lynch sent me to Chris Rutherford's blog where he explains how many hits he is getting from Google to his spot.  Chris shows off some stats on how 91% of his site referralls come from Google.  This post got me thinking I should share my stats to back up his claim.  If you want hits to your blog InstantSpot is the answer!!

Below is a screen shot of my organic referrals by search engine according to my Google Analytics account.

As you can see 98% of referrals to my blog come from google vs the remaining 1.96% from msn and yahoo combined.

The next screen is just the detail of those percentages above.  Not quite up to Chris' hits yet, but hey I'm new at all this.

 Another thing I found out by looking at my stats is that my number one key word referral is for "mssql date format" followed by "sql date format".  Both of these key words bring visitors to a post I made which provided some code on formatting SQL dates.  As of this posting my blog comes up as number 7 when googling for "mssql date format ", something I find amazing!  That is such a generic term and for my little blog to rank number 7 is a testament to Dave, Aaron and InstantSpot.  

At any rate just thought I'd share my opinion on the matter.  InstantSpot is a very very cool place to be right now.  So if you are thinking about blogging come on in, the water is warm!

Good Day!
