I like to check my Google Analytics stats from time to time to see how folks are finding my blog. A few of the stranger keywords that some of my readers have Google’d in June:
- “ladyboy thailand”: This is a big one and there’s quite a few variations on this theme, including “partnership with ladyboy” and “ladyboy love”. Apparently my recent post Why I’ll Never Be A Thai Ladyboy has made me somewhat of an expert according to Google.
- “kill your cellphone”: The fact that someone actually typed that into Google is a bit unnerving.
- “insect geek in japan”: I have no idea what they were looking for, but I hope they found it.
- “geisha strip club quebec”: Why anyone would be Googling a strip club in the middle of Quebec that is surrounded by 100 miles of corn farms in all directions is beyond me. Perhaps the happy hour they started recently is really turning the place around and kicking business into high gear. Good on ’em!
- “lifelong travellers”: Googling this phrase reveals my About page as the #2 result. Considering that the big “G” is essentially a giant supercomputer devouring every morsel of info in the web sphere and trying to decipher it into a meaningful database, it warms my heart to see that the search giant thinks of my blog (and thus me) as a lifelong traveler.
To all my blogging brethren, what are some of the stranger keywords people have searched on to stumble across your blog?
