How can my tags refer traffic to my blog?
I have another blog — EverythingLiaSophia — performing exceptionally well, seeing 43 views yesterday. That to me is so little yet so much! It really is, considering this blog usually sees 2-5 views per day. So as I was browsing the stats, I noticed that many people are being “referred” from tags. Not categories, but tags…my very own tags. I have other clients who see a whole lot of blog views each day and have never run into this particular occurrence. I started to think this was a result of a WordPress glitch, until the same occurrence started happening again today.
We know tags are essential for searching and browsing. For example, if “Lia Sophia 2009 catalog” was searched through Google and one of my tags was “2009 Catalog,” the search would be matched with that particular search term, someone clicks my link and would then be recorded in WordPress stats under “Search Engine Terms.” With this assumption, my wondrous mind of course is questioning…how is it possible for readers to be “referred” from my tags to my blog? In other words, How can my tags refer traffic to my blog? Wouldn’t they already be there? And I am not seeing that it is the case that other bloggers have the same tag as me.
Am I missing something? I’d like to know what you know or think.
This is what my stats are telling me.
