What are they looking for? pt. 1

Google Analytics gives us an awful lot of information about the use of our site (we sometimes wish we were a little better at figuring out what the data actually means, but we’re learning). Here are the top ten search terms that lead people to our WEX legal encyclopedia:

• first amendment
• bankruptcy
• death penalty
• pollution
• emancipation
• welfare
• civil rights
• equal protection
• labor laws
• child custody

We hesitate to draw any larger conclusions from this…but it’s certainly true that emancipation laws (which specify the age at which children may declare themselves independent of their parents) figure in a lot of the e-mail that we get.
