Writing On The Webb

Sometimes, for reasons that are fun and not analytic or SEO oriented, I like to look through the Referring Keywords on my dashboard.
For those who aren’t uber-blogging geeks like myself, a referring keyword is simply the word (or sentence) that visitors type into a search engine that brings up my site as a result and causes them to click-thru.
Why would that be fun you ask?
Well, aside from people looking to find out if I have a boyfriend or if Jamie Varon drinks coffee or if Carlos Miceli has a six-pack (all previous searches) I also get some hilarious phrases that make me truly wonder what people are doing online. Here are some from the past couple months:
- …Bad Mood…Shit Happens…
- book about girl with fiddle magic named after bird
- can i live with my pregnant mistress?
- katewinslettboobs
- mind wandering in dangerous territory
- my name is eliza. i’m a walmart girl
- once upon a time a girl so inlove. then a slut came. end of the story
- things that the irish have conrol over
- ryan reynolds myers briggs
See the hilariousness?
