Interesting, Albeit Pointless Stats for My Blog

I decided to take all of the search data for my blog and tally the instances of a given word. Below are all the words that were used in a search to get to my site. If someone comes to my site with the search term “bulldog rpg” then that would count as one instance for “bulldog” and one for “rpg”.

I have removed the prepositions and conjunctions to keep the ifs ands and ors out of the results. I also converted words ending in s to their likely singular tense.

The next table collects pairs of search terms.

So if someone searches for “burning wheel gold” this would count as one instance for “burning wheel”, one for “gold wheel” and one for “burning gold”. (Note I sorted each of the search words)
