    Yes, but didn’t LDS.org use to come up much higher when searching for Jesus Christ?

    LDS.org is Google’s #1 “Church”…

    Yahoo searching ‘church’ comes up with #3. Just added church in Chinese to the meta tags on http://www.lds.org.tw. We’ll see if this improves the rankings on both Yahoo and Google. 6th site on Google Taiwan and Yahoo is so far buried I can’t even find it.

    More news later.

This isn’t meaningful in the long term because these things can fluctuate. But it does indicate trends on the web and what people are linking to when they talk about church. [...]

    I also recently found that scriptures.lds.org is the #1 result for “scriptures”. I don’t know if the term scriptures is widely used outside of the LDS church or not, so not sure how significant that is.

    It’s great that we’re getting all excited about a couple of keyphrases, but how many people really type in “church” when they want to find out about our beliefs? It’s interesting to see how we rank on terms like “mormon missionaries” “mormon temples” “mormon beliefs” and “joseph smith” – the keyphrases that being searched each month (according to Overture and other available web stats).
