Funky search terms
Like most webmasters, I have a program that keeps track of who’s accessing this site. Of course, it doesn’t name names (lucky you!), but it does give me some interesting general information about where hits are coming from and how people are finding the site.
Anyway, I was just going over a list of the search terms that somehow led people here over the last few months, and I thought I’d share some of the more unusual ones with you:
- mountains in louisiana – Guess that search didn’t pull in many results. It’s sort of like looking for rainforests in New Mexico.
- are soccer fans more interested in the visiting team – If you phrase your search as a complete sentence, are you more likely to get a complete answer? No!
- is there pizza in the musical mamma mia – No, but there’s plenty of cheese.
- pretending to work – Attention, bosses: This search will not return a list of the “recreational” sites your employees are visiting when they’re supposed to be working on that 150-page budget proposal. Sorry.
- what is a cutline – Cutline is journalese for caption. (I’m writing this here so the next poor schmoe asking that question will get an answer.)
- what is a library – Here’s a question more and more young people will be asking as they turn to the Internet for all their research. But I won’t spoil their Googling fun by giving away the answer here.
- naked people in roman baths – Ohhh-kay…
