March 29, 2006Navel gazingI looked at our stats (you can too, with those 2 icons at the bottom of the left-hand column) today. We had hits just today from around the U.S. and several sites in the U.K. and Italy. Several readers accessed us through universities. But what I found most intriguing were the search terms which wound up leading to our page. Some, you might expect. "'Sharon Stone' blow job" returned my recent post at the #8 position in Yahoo, for example. Others we definitely should appreciate leading to us, such as "democratic 'contract with america'", "andy card resigns", and "public sentiment of Bush". But others still were completely bizarre, such as "Pig skull" (which led to our recent spam discussion from the Italian Google site), and "causes of suicide" (which led to a discussion of the root causes of suicide bombers), and there was a high prevalence of hurricane-related searches. This is much better than the last time I checked our search queries, which showed the dangers of spam accumulation. A BUNCH of dirty words were pointing to our nice, polite little site. The complete list of the last 20 search terms is below the fold. P.S. Privacy caution to Netscape e-mail client users: When you click on a link to a website that's in an e-mail, your username on your own computer or network shows up in the referrer logs. 29 Mar, Wed, 14:40:08 Yahoo: scary words Comments
One little post about hurricanes seems to have caused a strange reaction. |
