• Tweet

As a follow-up to last month’s On the Strange Ways People Find My Blog, I decided to round up the top 5 search phrases folks are using to find my site over the past week. Things just keep getting stranger:

1. “things to try before you die”: Fair enough, but Google’s just barely missing the mark on this one. The post to which they’re directing searchers is really about things not to try before you die.
2. “nordic porn”: The respective post was really about maps, but I suppose this is further proof that search engines have a ways to go in the linguistics department.
3. “bad reasons to own a private plane”: Your guess is as good as mine. I like private piloting but I wouldn’t say it’s something about which I’m knowledgeable or blog regularly about.
4. “tightest jeans in the world”: Evidently blogging about this photo makes me somewhat of an “expert”. Google ranks me as #2!
5. “insect killer geek”: The traffic from this one and similar derivations remains steady. Not a clue why …
