How do people end up here?

November 15th, 2008 by Jilles

I make no presumptions on my blog: I hardly dedicate time and effort to it and just want some place to put some of my thinking on the intertubes. That said, I do know a thing or two about websites so I can’t help myself applying some of the practices I learned on my weblog.

Here is a breakdown of which keywords people use to end up on my site:

kaprun austria: When I got back from my ski trip, I posted a video and some pictures.
php website architecture (and variations thereof like “website architecture with php“): I’ve posted a few articles on this topic, ranging from a presentation of the high level architecture at Martkplaats.nl, an article about the use of Memcache at large deployments. Most people land at the category page actually.
database versioning: I’ve written exactly one article about how to version databases in large applications (like very popular websites). It’s a topic that has a lot of my interest (other topics are version control systems and relevance in search engines).
Westendorf map: Each year I’m going down to Westendorf, Austria, for a ski holiday with a really nice group of people. Years ago I found this “interactive” map of Westendorf that was based on an arial photo that was usefully annotated. I copied the zip-file that was offered. Years later the original was gone, so I decided to upload it on my website for others to use. The funny thing is, that another popular search for that page is the actual URL of the page.
cvs branching strategy: As stated above, version control systems are a pet peeve of mine. I wrote an article asking the question “What branching strategy do you use?“.
economic disaster: Recently I wrote a quick article pointing to two blog entries on the Fractals of Change weblog that is describing the current economic disaster in clear words.
