Search Results: Bob Corker for Senate
I don't know about you, but I am seeing a marked increase in the number of hits to this site (use care when patting me on the head) that are a result of keyword searches like 'bob corker' and 'bob corker senate tennessee'.
I'm glad people are finding the site. The way the archives aren't properly encoded, I get the feeling that they sometimes land where what they're looking for isn't obviously in front of them. Still, I hope that people searching on 'bob corker for senate' find their way to the US Senate candidates page of this site, just as I hope the people searching for 'ed bryant[..]' or 'harold ford[..]' or 'van hilleary[..]' or 'rosalind kurita[..]' do the same.
The funny thing is, I don't see hits that result from searches for 'ed bryant[..]' or 'harold ford[..]' or 'van hilleary[..]' or 'rosalind kurita[..]'. This could be caused by several things. I have a category named "Bob Corker for Senate" and it could be that that alone pushes this site somewhat higher in the results than in results for the other searches. It could also be that I have written more about Corker's campaign than about any other; but if you think about some of the posts I have created, and the aforementioned Senate candidates page, where all known/rumored candidates are given equal listing, that theory starts to leak.
Or, it could be that people all over the country are watching this state's 2006 Senate race and they have gotten word of a candidate who possesses tireless energy, broad appeal and traditional conservative values (in the "sense" sense, not the James Dobson faux sense), and they are then seeking more information on his campaign. I'm led to this postulate by the data that identify out-of-state seekers. I haven't compiled the info, but on average I would say that at least 30% of all searches for 'bob corker[..]' come from out of state. A few for 'harold ford[..]' have as well; but, interestingly, even though both Van Hilleary and Ed Bryant are former Congressmen -- the latter a mite notorious for his role in the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal -- I don't see anyone searching for them from outside Tennessee (or, like I said, at all, really).
I'm not sure what it all means, so I am not trying to draw hard-and-fast conclusions or anything, but it is interesting to take a stab at some analysis of these keyword searches.
And, as a bonus, I've "googlebombed" the site with more "Bob Corker for Senate."
