Hello and a belated welcome to July everyone. With the turning of another calendar page, it’s time to take another look at the analytics for Christian Web Trends to find trends, top posts, and funky keywords.

- qr code
- what is a qr code?
- what is qr code

Observations:
- As you can see, we’re getting a ton of traffic related to QR codes. That’s because We’re #3 in Google for “what is a qr code” and got 497 visits for that phrase and #11 for “qr code” which produced 466 visits.
- We haven’t done an analytics post for a few months, but in May our top 5 keywords were related to QR codes and combined for more than 1500 visits. In April, 5 of the top 10 keywords were also related to QR codes producing more than 3,000 visits. It’s a Google thing.
- We had 3,931 visits from search engines via 2,165 keywords. That means the vast majority of keywords people used to find CWT were only used once.

Observations
- No surprise that with 6 of the top 10 search phrases containing QR codes, the #1 post was “What is a QR Code?“
- #3 was QR Codes: 10 Ways Churches Can Use them. I found that 31% of the people who viewed that post came from the “What is a QR Code” post. That demonstrates the value of interlinking posts, even if it means going back and editing earlier posts to include a link to a later, relevant post.
- 5 of the top 10 posts were written this month, while 5 were older. That’s not surprising since 48% of this month’s visitors came from search engines.
