Update on My Website Google "Top Ten" Stats

Friday, October 22, 2004

On April 12th, 2004, I did a blog post consisting of showing how high my web pages ranked on the search engine Google, using the following terms. I was curious to see if there was any change over six months. The titles below are linked to my web pages. The first number is the ranking in the Google search in April. The second is how high it is listed now (October 22nd, 2004).

1 / 1 Bible and Tradition
1 / 1 The Papacy (or, Papacy)
1 / 1 Sacramentalism
1 / 2 Development of Doctrine
1 / 2 Communion of Saints
1 / 1 John Henry Newman
1 / 1 Malcolm Muggeridge
1 / 1 Theological Liberalism
2 / 1 Traditionalist Catholics
2 / 2 Sacred Tradition
2 / 2 Anti-Catholicism
[it still lists my old web page that is defunct! My new one, though, comes in at #14]
3 / 2 Justification
3 / 2 Holy Trinity
4 / 6 Purgatory
4 / 4 Scripture and Tradition
5 / 5 Eucharist
5 / 4 C.S. Lewis
5 / 5 G.K. Chesterton
5 / 4 Penance
6 / 5 Blessed Virgin Mary

8 / 11 Christian Apologetics
9 / 49 Sola Scriptura
[another paper of mine is listed at #19]
9 / 4 Catholic Apologetics
10 / 6 Church Fathers

==================================
So site ranking (of the above searches) has improved overall, with eight gains and seven losses. The last two pages listed showed the biggest gain. Here are some new ones I found:

5 Protestantism
17 Ecumenism
3 Sacrifice of the Mass
1 Salvation Outside the Catholic Church

2 Moral Theology
5 Traditionalism

4 Catholic Converts
2 Eastern Orthodoxy
14 Orthodoxy
2 Infallibility
6 + 7 Private Judgment

That adds up to a total of 10 #1's, 40 in the Top Five, and 55 Top Ten "hits." Thanks so much for reading! It is my pleasure to be of some service to you.
