On the Strange Ways People Find My Blog (August 2007)

It’s been a while since I last did this little recap and it appears my blog continues to draw the freaky freaks out of the search engine woodwork. By far the most popular search term was some variation on “man vs. wild fraud”. That little flap evidently set the blogosphere all atwitter.
But that’s not particularly strange or noteworthy. Alas, this month’s top five strangest search terms that brought visitors to my blog:
- brian bumper: Ironically, just my commenting on the fact that Brooke gets a lot of traffic from this European porn star’s name was enough to bring traffic to my blog too.
- sexy enemas: Let’s leave this one alone and move on …
- buy pillowig: That people would be searching for pillowig is not particularly noteworthy. It is pretty damn funny after all. But the fact that some are actually in the market to buy one? Now that’s just plain weird.
- montreal window stalker: Are these people looking for news on a stalker in Montreal? Or tips on how to become one?
- world’s tightest pair of jeans: Fortunately, I delivered on this one.
To my blogging peeps out there, what were the strangest search terms readers used to find your blog last month?

*laughs at no. 2* Mwahahahahaha!
Sadly, my seach queries have been boring as of late. Save for that “why i’m proud to be malaysian” fluke and oh, that one person who wants to know if it’s okay to pack his/her vibrator.

- “i’ve laid around, and played around this ol town too long”: I have no idea what this means, maybe lyrics?
- “addis ababa prostitute going rate”: I’m not surprised, I met some sex tourists in Ethiopia. Ew.
- “getting away with credit card fraud”: A number of these, which is not reassuring.
- “get off me let me go want to scrap let me go”: Huh?
- “jinghong happy massage”: Actually, I have *a lot* of massage-based keywords.
- “meanest people in the world”: I’m not that mean!

“addis ababa prostitute going rate” … between you and me, Megan, what is the going rate? =P

I don’t know about locals (seeing a prostitute is pretty ‘normal’ for all but the poorest in Ethiopia) but most men I saw paying were roped in through some tea ceremony or ‘traditional dancing’ which cost them more than $100 USD!
