For the longest time I’ve looked at my Google Analytics for NevBlog.com and noticed one post consistently in the top 10:
My Nordstrom Return Policy post! Weird huh? This was a simple little post I did back in…2009..no…2007….no….2005 which has somehow topped the rankings for the search term “Nordstrom Return Policy.”
As I recall, up until a year ago it was #1 in the Google search results, now it resides at number 2:
What’s HILARIOUS to me is how many clicks, comments and stupid debates the post gets! I’ve actually deleted many of the comments in the past, but now I’ve just plain stopped reading/moderating them.
The ONLY REASON I expect someone would visit that post is because it’s ranked so highly in Google, and on the actual Nordstroms page you can’t leave a comment.
On my dinky little post, people can feel free to air their opinions. It seems like a lot of pissed off Nordstroms sales people visit the page.
Often these people are anonymous, so who knows how accurate their feedback is….
While that post does give my blog a lot more traffic, that traffic has an astoundingly high 94.71% bounce rate! This tells me that people searching for information about the Nordstrom return policy are not that interested in me. What a shame.
It’s always funny to see what random articles gain traction!
