I've been collecting all the search terms used by users , having cleared out all the noise
words , the most popular search terms are:jobs in London , .net-jobs, Kent jobs,it jobs in scotland, technical support, jobs in oxford, java jobs , oracle dba jobs, IT jobs.
This quite surprised me as I assuemed most users would think of something specific , such as
pick a competitive skill such as replication jobs. These are direct search terms. What's interesting is that most of the traffic ITjobfeed.com gets from the search engines is a lot more niche.
To some extent this reflects that currect competitiveness of certain search terms. Whereas ITjobfeed.com has a lot of pages indexed which are very technical terms , and whcih send traffic to the site. A sample is http://www.itjobfeed.com/x10-jobs
