I am a shameless google whore (and how!)

Thanks to a timely suggestion by Dave, I now have a Google Analytics account tirelessly recording the details of every poor schmuck who got trapped on this site after the 31st December. The results, while not actually good in a "ZOMFG! Advertising Dollars!" sense, is perhaps better than I should have expected given my crappy posting record over the time-frame in question. I am, of course, less concerned with the raw number of visits as in the internet search keywords that led people here. I shall now give a brief account of such searches to date, in a shameless rip-off of Martin's idea. Ahem. Excluding people searching for "myblogisanotherblog", the list is as follows:
  1. "i am a woman in love" song wikipedia Hmmm....
  2. andrew loyal Boy, did you have to trawl through a lot of search results to reach this site.....
  3. curried meat pie blogs I wonder how many of these there are.......
  4. gaussian eliminators We're famous!!!!!!!
  5. geoff ulrich blog So while using google to try and find the blog of some random friend of yours, you found mine instead. Whoever you are, I would greatly appreciate a critique of 1000 words or so as to whose blog is better. Happily, the entry this search leads to is my opus A brief message for Geoff. I sure impressed somebody there.
  6. i got into uq bitches Congratulations.
  7. my blog hello hello yourself, buddy.
  8. only anagram of noiseless This suggests to me a potential niche market. Incidentally, unless Harry lied to us, its "Lionesses"
  9. ratemycock After all that google whoring, the only porn-related search that came here instead owes itself to a comment Martin left. I have mixed emotions about this.
  10. sexiest mathematician My blog, presumably due to this post, appears third on a google search for this, just above one entitled "Jessica Alba has the sexiest wiggle".
Google analytics, in short, induces just that little bit of turgidity for me. Now, back to work.

Hey you sexy mathematician you,

I have just spent a while searching google for a mixture of the words "cock" "ratemycock" "another" and "blog" in the hopes that this will enhance the google connections and lead more people wanting to rate cocks to this wonderful site.

I'd also like to say for the record. Whore whore whore. There. x

.... thanks?

I discovered an important omission to the above post. Before this very post, the VERY FIRST hit one used to get when they typed in "i got into uq bitches" was this one. Whoever actually got into uq was feeling perhaps a little less awesome at that point.

I'm very proud today, I got my first funny google search for my blog.

"how to shoplift stuff"

I also get the number 1 hit for this search in google.

The list is significantly longer now (31). I'm particularly pleased with all those that include the words "rate" and "cock" somewhere in their search. I'd just like to add a note for those individuals who come here in search of "Decland McManus". The spelling you are after is "Declan McManus" - the birth name of Elvis Costello. Feel free to have a look around while you're here.

Fitz, are these people spending any time on your blog or disapearing instantly?

Andrew said...

Well, the cock people disappear instantly. Not sure I really want to keep them, exactly. I consider it a noble design in life to disrupt the lives of such individuals, if only briefly.

Mixed on others.
