Something That Changed on Nishi2 This Week
There’s one item this week.
Monthly Searches for the Nishinomiya Tsushin Site Name Are Getting Close to 9,000
How do you usually get to Nishinomiya Tsushin?
Maybe you use a bookmark, or search for “Nishinomiya Tsushin,” or something else.
We looked into it a bit, and the number of monthly searches for the site name “Nishinomiya Tsushin” is now close to 9,000.
In web terminology, searching by a site name or brand name is called a “branded search,” and seeing more of those is a very good thing.
By the way, we made a ranking of what search terms people used to find Nishinomiya Tsushin!
1st: “西宮つーしん”
No surprise there. Once you see the site name even once, maybe it sticks with you.
2nd: “にしつー”
This is the approved? official? abbreviation for Nishinomiya Tsushin. By the way, the intonation fluctuates at the level of quantum mechanics depending on the situation, sometimes “Nishi2↑” and sometimes “Nishi2↓” (Either is fine, though)
3rd: “西宮 つーしん”
If you thought, “Wait, isn’t that the same as 1st place?” wrong answer. Look closely! There’s a half-width space between “西宮” and “つーしん.” It feels like people are searching very carefully.
4th: “にしつー通信”
This one is surprising, but there are actually quite a lot of searches for it.
5th: “にしのみやつーしん”
Ah, this one is cute. It makes me wonder a little, “Maybe we should’ve gone with this one?”
6th: “にしつーしん”
I’m curious whether this is a combination of “にしつー” and “しん,” or “にし” and “つーしん.”
7th: “西つー”
Does it turn into this when you convert “にしつー”? On my Windows PC, it somehow becomes “西ツー” in katakana.
8th: “西宮ツーシン”
Whoa, in katakana it looks like a totally different website.
9th: “西宮 つ ー しん”
This one is a mystery. There are a bunch of half-width spaces in it. Maybe it’s a Google bug.
10th: “にしつう”
I love that it uses “う” instead of a long vowel mark. I really love it. Maybe I’ll be the only one to use this. But that would confuse everyone, so I won’t. lol
And altogether, these added up to 9,000!
That’s pretty amazing, right? People are searching for us 9,000 times in one month.
Whatever name you use, we’re truly grateful that you’re looking for Nishi2. Thank you!
