Happy Friday! After back to back weekends in Virginia Beach (Shamrock) and Philadelphia (Love Run) I look forward to a DC weekend! Today I am linking up with Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia and I thought it would be fun to share Five Keyword Searches that have led readers to Run Jenny Run (PS – on a funny note, Mar wrote a great Stat What?! 2.0 post yesterday…great minds).

1. Run Jenny Run
This is one of the top keyword searches (makes sense) that have led readers to my blog. Variations include: Run Jenny Run DC, Run Jenny Run Blog.
2. Josh Duggar
Remember that one time I ran the PRR Firecracker 5K with Josh Duggar? Okay technically I did not run with him, but he was there with his family and the “19 Kids and Counting” film crew. After the episode aired on TLC (and Deb spotted me on camera) there were quite a few searches for Josh Duggar 5K or Josh Duggar Reston to my Firecracker recap.
3. Race Recaps
You know I love writing them! A majority of readers have come to Run Jenny Run by searching for a particular race, example “GW Ten Miler Recap” “Philadelphia Love Run Recap”
4. ClassPass
This past October I was able to attend the ClassPassDC Launch and have written a few posts that referenced them. There have been a number of searches for “ClassPass Business Model.”
5. “Buying Race Bibs NYC Marathon”
This one popped out…sorry NYC Marathon bibs are not for sale (you can try the lottery, charity, or time qualifier options).
If you blog are there any funny or interesting searches that have led to your site?
How do you follow other blogs? (ex. Bloglovin, Social Media, Google Search)

April 3, 2015That last one is really funny. Since I am not the brains behind our blog, I have no idea how we get our traffic through searches/what searches. I used blog lovin’, but have a list in my Erin Condren planner of the blogs I love too!

April 6, 2015The last one got a laugh out of me when I saw it 🙂 I still like using my paper based planner to sketch out ideas for the blog.
Tara @ Running 'N' Reading
April 3, 2015Oh, my gosh, Jenny; I love some of the search terms I see on my list – ha! 😉 I wrote a post one time about running shirtless and that seems to be a popular search item. I also get lots of searches for book titles, book reviews, etc., which is kind of fun. Hope you have a great weekend!

April 6, 2015Haha that is funny! That would make sense you get alot of book review searches.

Stephanie
April 3, 2015Nothing beats a weekend at home after traveling multiple weekends! Have a great weekend! 🙂
The google searches aren’t too crazy for my page. Golden Birthday is probably the funniest. Most of the searches are jaw surgery or PiYo related it seems.
Jennifer
April 6, 2015Thanks Steph! I hope you had a good weekend. Golden Birthday is funny.

John @ run. geek. run(disney)
April 3, 2015Thats funny. Analytics can have some good search terms. I love looking for the like 1 hit keywords, such as “hipopotamos animados” and “2914 calendar”?

Leana
April 3, 2015I always find it interesting to see how people get to my blog. The top search terms seems to be “runner leana.” Race reports always seem to generate quite a bit of traffic too!
Have a happy Easter!

April 6, 2015If I am using my phone (and not Bloglovin) I’ll usually search Runner + Name 🙂 Hope you had a good weekend!
Diane @runninrocker
April 3, 2015Oh this is cool! I didn’t even know I could look that up. haha I guess I should check it out! I still have much to learn! Thanks for sharing!! Have a very wonderful weekend!!

April 6, 2015Your welcome! I found my search terms through Google Analytics (I have it installed here and on my old tumblr blog) – there is a section where you can see Organic Keywords.
Jenny @ TurtleStride
April 3, 2015Love it! It’s so funny how people come across different pages. I love that the Duggars are able to help drive traffic for you 🙂 Have a great weekend in DC 🙂
Run Jenny Run
April 6, 2015Memorable searches for sure! Hope you had a good weekend Jenny!

April 3, 2015hahah that Josh Duggar one is so funny!
I follow my blogs on bloglovin.

April 6, 2015I use Bloglovin as well. Honestly, since Google Reader went away, that is the only reader I know of.
lacey@fairytalesandfitness.com
April 3, 2015I follow other blogs on blogger. It’s a great way to see the most current blogs you follow. That has been better than blog lovin for me. For some reason I don’t get current ones on that and seem to get them several days after they are posted.

April 6, 2015I’ve had some issues with Bloglovin as well – even if I read a post, sometimes it still marks it as unread. Ah neat, I had no idea you could follow other blogs via Blogger.

April 3, 2015I love seeing these. Sometimes they are so random!

Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home
April 3, 2015Sometimes I’m on Google images, looking for pictures for the blog, and I’ll find a picture that I’ve posted with a link to my blog. That’s always a little jarring…

April 6, 2015Wow! I know I haven’t been good with tagging my pictures (so likely not in Google Image results). Hope you had a great weekend!
Lindsey
April 4, 2015Haha, it’s so strange how people get to our blogs! I haven’t had any good ones for a while, but there was one a while back (can’t remember exactly what it was), but I was like how the heck did that link to me?! Have a great weekend, Jennifer!

April 6, 2015Haha I know, they are pretty funny. I like hearing what other bloggers see for their sites.
Kristina @ Blog About Running
April 4, 2015I love hearing about what searches bring people to blogs. I look over my searches a lot because if I am getting traffic for something that doesn’t make sense I like to go back and make changes so that i stop getting visitors from it. Like, one time I used a picture called bam.jpg and I got a bunch of traffic from being searching bam that obviously aren’t interested in running so I went back and removed that picture from my post!
Someone searched ‘wunning blog’ once which made me laugh out loud. I like wunning 😉
Kristina @ Blog About Running recently posted…I went for a run!
Run Jenny Run
April 6, 2015I like wunning (and reading about other bloggers searches) I haven’t been too good about labeling my pictures (there were no options to for Tumblr, do it did not become a habit). I’ll need to start practicing that.
Abby @ BackAtSquareZero
April 4, 2015Yours are so normal.
Mine are crazy like… dog riding, or sports bra stuck.

Victoria @ Smiles 'n' Snuggles
April 4, 2015Love the fact that Josh Duggar is one of your search terms! I haven’t looked mine up in awhile, but they’re usually good for a laugh.

April 6, 2015Definitely made me giggle! Hope you had a good weekend!
