Popular ICD-10 Search Terms Used to Find My Blog

I started this blog a little over 6 months ago and have seen the number of readers steadily increase over that time. One of the interesting aspects of maintaining a blog (or a website) are the huge number of statistics available to help identify and analyze site visitors.  Over the last 8 weeks I’ve had the following visits:

	Page Loads	Unique Visits	First Time Visits	Returning Visits
Total	2,032	1,322	951	371
Average/Week	254	165	119	46

To me, a particularly interesting bit of information is the search terms that lead prospects to my blog. Of the 1322 unique visits, 412 came to my blog via a search engine, mostly Google. So if the sheer number of search terms falling into a specific ICD-10 "topical category" is a valid indication of all reader interest in that topic, then the following ICD-10 topics are front and center in the mind of my blog readers:

1. Dual and Double Coding                             (62 terms - Tied with Neutrality)
2. Neutrality                                                      (62 terms)
3. Payer vs. Provider Topics                           (28)
4. Testing                                                           (23)
5. General Impact                                            (16)
6. Miscellaneous/Onesy-Twosey’s              (221)

The following are the actual terms used to lead a reader to my blog:

Note: With the exception of the Miscellaneous category, each category contains all of the actual terms used by visitors using a search engine to find my blog.
