People Are Seaching For Some Strange Things
WordPress.com provides some really nice stat information for your blog. I look at the numbers frequently. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I do not get the hits that other local bloggers receive. My numbers are up quite a bit since July 2007 but that’s not really saying much. If I had one hit a day and the number increased to three, I could say I tripled my readership. Yeah.
“Referrers” tells me from where my visitors came. I get a load from Delmar Dustpan, for which I have and continue to thank Howard for the link. Another Delmar blog, A Woman’s Point of View, also sends some traffic my way, to which I need to say “thanks Karen.” Michael at Monoblogue has also sent traffic my way. Thanks are extended to him as well.
In addition to numbers and links, I can also see the search terms visitors were using making their way to the site. Some are just strange. How about “life of a male prostitute”? Or “free married on valentine”? Here are three more odd ones: “old married couple poem”, “mash up baby name”, “rudy gingrich bathing suit”, “star fox barf bag”, and “why I shouldn’t speed on the road”. My two favorites of the ones listed are “life” and “old married”.
Google has a site, Google Trends, where you can see what Internet users in the USA are looking for. One night I was on Trends right after watching “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?” on Fox. I noticed that several of the top searches were for answers to that night’s questions. Analysis of this discovery should follow, but I will leave that one alone for now.
