Jacob October 10, 2006 at 1:11 pm: Yes, but didn’t LDS.org use to come up much higher when searching for Jesus Christ?
WillF October 11, 2006 at 5:37 am: Looks even better today – Mormon.org is number 3. Now, how did Church’s Chicken get #2?
Johnna October 14, 2006 at 2:23 pm: Church’s chicken in No. 1 now.
Joshua Lee October 15, 2006 at 9:21 am: 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.
Aaron Barker October 17, 2006 at 11:31 am: 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.
Richard December 8, 2006 at 9:29 am: 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).
