If you've ever noticed the weird little black-light poster of the planet
Saturn on this site's far bottom right, it's a link to extremetracking.com, some folks who give a bunch of feedback about the traffic to this site.
Clicking over, there's a listing of the most
frequent keywords typed in search engine users worldwide which ultimately led to this site. Most of them
are the sorts of things you'd expect, such as:
| All Keywords | Unique Visitors |
|
| 1613 | 13.14% | bob |
|
Makes sense, right?
Until you look further, and realize that the first three
entries, whose sequence I'm both amused and puzzled by, read as follows:
|
1613
| 13.17% | bob |
| 1520 | 12.41% | harris |
| 188 | 1.53% | naked |
|
Eek. I have a suspicion that 188 people didn't find quite what they were looking for.
Going down the list, there are a few more fun accidental phrases I had
to share with the rest of the class, odd little Search Keyword Dada
Poetry moments. The next is just descriptive, but remarkably clear:
|
127
| 1.04% | blog |
| 116 | 0.95% | and |
| 114 | 0.93% | pudu |
| 91 | 0.74% | pictures |
Further down, we find a nickname I've never heard, but rather like:
|
73
| 0.59% | judy |
| 72 | 0.59% | tsunami |
| 68 | 0.55% | woodruff |
|
Near the bottom, we find what can only be termed alternative-world science-fiction:
|
27
| 0.22% | cnn |
| 27 | 0.22% | blow |
| 26 | 0.21% | kerry |
|
I'll try to check back once a month or so. Let's hope those 188 people find something better to do.
