It’s not some new form of poetry or stream of consciousness rambling.  The list above are the top 50 words Google’s crawler says are on this site.

Earlier today I was doing some tweaking and reviewing of various reports with some occassional ‘oops, I messed that up six months ago’ here and there. It’s good to realize how much you’ve learned by catching yourself in mistakes every so often. Although it doesn’t hold a great deal of meaning in terms of web traffic the list of top 200 keywords in the Google Webmaster Tools fascinated me.  7 Green Stairs is the blog where I talk most about myself and what I’m doing, so once the site structure words like Juliet’s and October are subtracted these are the keywords that sum up “me”. Words like:  books, projects, adventurer, journey, love, romance, etc. It’s a very curious thing to see yourself in a spreadsheet of single words.

The words we use most often truly do describe who we are in thought as well as personality.  But it’s hard to be conscious of those words while actually using them. While it might be a lot of work to start blogging just to see this list, if you already have one I’d recommend taking a look from the personal perspective as opposed to your site’s performance.  What do those words say about who you are and who you want to be?  Are you surprised by them?
