September's strange searches...
Category Blogging
Seems like I started a trend here in the Lotus blogging world with semi-regular posts about the strange and unusual search hits that brought people to your sites. I don't know about anyone else, but I find those posts pretty enjoyable. Sheds some light on what a strange world exists out there, and that perhaps there should be a licensing requirement to use Google...
Oh, and before I start covering my September hits, a word to the Hillary Duff searchers. Yes, I share the same last name, but I had it first. I'm not related to her, nor do I follow her career. And you will *not* find anything on this site about her with hits like "Hillary Duff naked", "hillary duff weight loss", "hillary duff's weight loss trick", "hillary duff in under water", "hidden shower cams of hillary duff", "hillary duff's workout plan", "I want to see pictures of hillary duff having sex", or even "hillary duff gynecologist". You should all be embarrassed...
Now, on with the semi-less perverted stuff...
And my personal favorite...
"disney magic" and "ian" - Either they want to know about his time on the ship by that name, or they want to know if he's learned all about Disney's magic from working down there...

Now, on with the semi-less perverted stuff...
- devin olsen movie - "The Secret Life Of Spanky"?
- steve ballmer sweating - That would be just about any keynote address he gives...
- nanomaterials galore - But would you even know they're there?
- Daniel Lyons sucks - apparently another one of his fans...
- Rob McDonagh performance - hmmm...
- congratulations to anniversity - "Anniversity" probably describes a number of marriages out there...
- review on the idiot (Stan Rogers) - Stan... can you shed light on this one?
- julian naked - GAHHH!
- the duff - Perhaps I can start referring to myself in the third person...
- hello my name is tom - Welcome! Mine is too...
- airtube torture - The fact that someone was searching for this disturbs me...
- enron, settlement, preferred - Yes, I prefer they'd settle everything and give me my money.
- divorce, cyber - What you get after you get caught having cyber-sex? (and I had that search, too)
- being psychic - The answer is "proceed with caution" (you know who you are)...
- ibm trunk monkey - Now *that* I want to see! Opening session at Lotusphere... Rhodin pushes a button, a trunk opens up, the Trunk Monkey gets out, and proceeds to bash a Microsoft logo with a crowbar!
- duff electrical figure - Shocking!
- Microsoft employee dissatisfaction - and yet they still wanted to recruit me...

- water cooler lotus notes forum - I always *hated* that site!
- starting a cruise - First, get on the ship...
And my personal favorite...
"disney magic" and "ian" - Either they want to know about his time on the ship by that name, or they want to know if he's learned all about Disney's magic from working down there...

It's funny to realize what weird key words and phrases people, sometimes fringey oddballs, use and end up at your site.
I did one little post on my musings about whether bloggers might help cannibis sativa become legal, as it should be, as was for untold thousands of years with no problem.
Now I get lots of marihuana researchers and fans hitting my site. Yet the topics I constantly rage about are not as commonly used in search engines by people, like pseudo blog, morbid stream media, clinking, blogology, etc.
I rarely check my stats because they fluctuate wildly from day to day, no good way to tell if I'm connecting with readers like I want to. Dumb, silly posts get tons of links and comments, while serious, important posts get ignored often, seemingly, aside from lurkers.
One thing I really like, and rarely see on other blogs, but see on web sites, is my easy-stats "x number of visitors online at this blog" function at the top of my sidebar.
I now call it "I sense your presence" with the number of visitors directly below that phrase.

The word you're looking for is not: "hmmm..."; it's: "spectacular."
Seriously, they were looking for my e-Pro articles, and they found my blog and email address.
Oh, and the Ian 'Disney magic' search? Maybe it's some pretty young thing who thinks your son is the magic of Disney.
