HitTail is yet another web stats analysis package. Like 103Bees, they’re focused on monetizing traffic from search:
HitTail is the first ever service to mine your own data for underperforming long tail keywords. HitTail comes back with suggestions that can help boost your search results and therefore deliver more qualified visitors. While we made it to provide topics to improve natural search efforts, you can also use these suggestions in any number of ways including effective paid search campaigns, editorial calendars, and focused messaging for your website or email marketing.
I dig their Ajax but bare bones interface, which you can see here (the emphasis of a certain Facts of Life-related search is mine).
They have some secret sauce which, based on your current traffic plus trademarked magic beans, makes recommendations about what you should write about. Based on a week’s traffic, here are the top fifteen suggestions for this site:
cheap outdoor lighting
car rental ireland inexperienced drivers
beautiful agony video
book tracker
best wedding music slide show
carly pope
atlas and map skill
awesome wedding cake
carly pope
beckinsale underwear
amsterdam cafe in vancouver
banquet halls vancouver
2560 x 1024 wallpaper
blonde joke

I’m so depraved. You know, of course, that my next post will feature all 15 phrases.
Carly Pope scored twice?
Hi there Darren.
Your posts will be most effective if you use each topic as the subject line of separate posts. Why? Because the title tag becomes the URL becomes the headline and is disproportionately influential in search. One post that has all the text worked into the body won’t have the same effect.
Thanks for the coverage. And also, HitTail was out on June 6, making us the original. Plus, we’re saying that web stats analysis isn’t even necessary. We could have made the entire HitTail app work with just the Suggestions tab… but that would have been boring.
I shudder to think what the post combining “atlas and map skill” and “beckinsale underwear” will look like.
