Sorry I Couldn’t Help You With That One

Research

 

Occasionally I like to peek into my site referrals to see who’s stopping by and how did they get here.  In particular, I enjoy checking out the search terms that took them to Canned Laughter.

Most are prosaic like “preserving peaches”, which given the number of times it pops up, tells me I should actually post a how-to on that soon.   However, some are just plain funny.  Behold:

  • A certain fetishist in Wales stopped by looking for “Renee Zellweger Feet”
  • Someone up in Maine was using their computer at work to research “Finding the right piece of property bad neighbors and nosy family”, because as we all know, bad neighbors will make that piece of property just right.
  • An Idaho reader seeks “Hotdogs Disgusting”.  I couldn’t agree with that sentiment more, but do you really need documentation?
  • And finally, this week’s winner for best search term:  A reader in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire seeks information on “Colin Firth Chest Hair”. 

So what is your favorite search term that’s popped up on your site?

    I got quite a few people searching for DD Cup Size/DD Breasts. Unfortunatley my post was about nursing bras.

    So now I’m wondering why someone looking for Colin Firth chest hair would be directed to your site . . . humm? And of course, with this post, now you’ll get ALL of those people coming to your site. While I’ve had some really weird juxtapositions on my blog stats, I can’t recall any at the moment. The strangest one on there right now is for “female chicken pullet for sale in the dominican republic”. Think the post office would let me ship one?

    I don’t know how to find the analytics. And, I’m too scared to look.

    “pete of all trades” comes up the most. I never wrote that … it was left in comments.

    Now that I left it in your comments … watch, you’ll get g00gled traffic a lot by people looking for that.

    I don’t know how to do that sort of thing. I wish I did tho. I tried to put in a visitor counter but couldn’t seem to copy and paste the html code into my site correctly. I’m pretty clueless on that sort of thing.

    If you combine “june cleaver naked” and “june cleaver nude” that would be 75% of my Googling readers. Seriously. Like several a day. Lord have mercy if I ever tease them with a post title that gives them some hope. I almost titled today’s post: june cleaver in a swimming suit. That would have probably doubled my stats.

    How do you find this out?? I’ve been blogging almost five years, and I’m still a technical doofus.

    I disabled the search ability for mine after I posted about being in the Vag ina Monologues. (Hopefully splitting the word will keep it from showing up in a bunch of searches.)

    I don’t have anything that interesting on my list of searches just being a Herb tends to get people looking for herbal remedies but I have had a couple of interesting search terms after posts the like of ‘She flies like a bird in the sky’ and ‘Healing hand cream’ seems to collect a few as well.

    Great blog, will be back.
