I am 90% done with a widget that displays clickable search engine keywords in a sidebar widget. It is running now on http:\/\/www.cthreepo.com.<\/p>\n
By the time that WordPress comes through with the widget page, I will be done testing.<\/p>\n
From the readme:
\nThe Keywords Widget collects the query strings from Google, Bing and Yahoo. It lists the last 30 keywords as a sidebar widget so that users might click on them and find information using the WordPress built-in search. In this way a user might find more pages that satisfy his search and other users may be interested in the same things that previous searchers used as queries. <\/p>\n
One interesting thing is that seach engines see the search terms, which leads to more people hitting the pages based on the search terms from previous surfers. If one of the terms is a popular search, it leads to more searches. Very quickly the top 30 keywords are sending you traffic for things that may have appeared on the list accidentally at first. There is a positive feedback loop.<\/p>\n
