The Most Frequently Asked Questions

by Crazy Ivan


One of my favorite things about this blog is the analytic page.  It's here that I can peruse all the ins and outs of the blog.  I can see who is visiting, how many people have visited, where they're from (the country, not your street address), how they found us and how often they visit.  It tells me what websites have links to our forum, where people most often go after leaving the forum and how long they stayed before they took off.

It even tells me what people have Googled to find the forum.  And this is actually one of the most interesting things to check.

One of the main reasons I started this blog is that when I Googled a Myachi-related question, I would always find the wrong information.  I'd either be directed to a horribly incorrect wiki-answers or Yahoo Answers kind of page or I'd wind up on some random post on the forum.  I might even find myself on some wholly unrelated page that just happens to have a mention of Myachi buried somewhere within it.

So when I set out to start this blog, one of the first things I did was get to answering basic questions about Myachi.  That way, if somebody Googled "Who is the best Myachi player?" they would win up finding this instead of some kid on Yahoo Answers anonymously claiming that they were, in fact, the best Myachi player.  I tackled many of the basic questions that I hear a lot, such as "Which is the best Myachi?", "What's the hardest trick?" and "What was the first Myachi ever made?"  In fact, I make it a point to write an article on here every time I hear the same question 3 times.  I figure if 3 people were curious enough to ask me, there were probably several more who never bothered to bring it up.

I also use the aforementioned analytic page to find new subjects.  As long as we've been adding content now, pretty much any Myachi related question that you Google is going to turn up at least one link to this blog on the first page.  That means that I often get to see questions that I haven't thought to answer yet.  For example, if somebody Googled "Which is the best Corduroy Myachi?" they would still find our blog.  In fact, I double checked and this is the first link they would find.

So now I can look back at the analytic page and see that somebody found our blog by Googling the best corduroy Myachi and if I've seen that same question asked before (or if I can't think of anything else to write about at the moment), I'll go ahead and write a whole article about which corduroy is best so that the next person Googling it gets a more specific answer.

The other cool thing about that feature is that it allows me to track trends in Myachi Googling.  I can track which Myachi questions are asked most often and which ones are being asked more or less frequently as time goes on.  Armed with that information, I can try to stay ahead of the curve by adjusting the content of the blog to whatever people are growing more interested in.  I can also, of course, track the consistently most asked questions about Myachi and generate more and more content about that subject.

It should come as no great surprise that the most common subject we get questions about is breaking in a Myachi.  I've posted a few articles on the subject before and they are some of the most popular articles on the blog.  People are always looking for ways to break in a Myachi or new shortcuts to SUMPOY.  They are always seeking out the most yummifiable Myachis and wondering which fabrics work best for which methods.

So think of this blog as an explanation in advance.  If you start noticing a higher-than-usual volume of posts about breaking in Myachis, that's why.  I still owe everybody a MythBusters style test of various break in methods and I haven't forgotten it, though I'm still not sure when I can fit it into my crazy schedule.

Oh, and a sort of side note to this whole thing.  If there's a subject you want me to blog about, you can always email it to me or leave it in the comments, but if you wanted a more round-about way of getting it done, just Google your question a couple of times and click on the first link you see to the Myachi Blog...
