I’ve been at this blogging for quite some time now and on occasion, that is when I can find the time, I bring up my stats information so I can try to get a handle on what’s making my web site cook. In these statistics I can find things like number of visits, page views, etc. One thing that I’m always curious about is the search words of phrases that people use that land them on my site.
As you might imagine there are some odd ones. You know the kind that make you go, “Hmmmm”. But that’s not the whole of it. Once I get over the “hmmmm” part of it, I then start wondering what in the dickens did I write that a search engine would direct a user to a landing page on my web site?
With that said, here’s a sampling of some of the search phrases people have used to get to the Black Bear Blog:
1. “Fly by dumpsite” – I dunno on that one.
2. “jurry-rigging commerce” – I’m posting these just as they were used for search engines.
3. “is america going to hell” – I actually think I might have used that once in a blog title.
4. “who decides if I’m mentally ill” – This I believe had to do with an article I wrote about the V-Tech shootings but not sure.
5. “bobcat camouflage” – interesting but understandable.
6. “skinny deer” – Skinny moose?
7. “how much does a log of copenhagen cost” – I’m not even sure what that means. Is that something to do with chewing tobacco?
8. “who won the lexington and concord war” – I made reference to this recently in an article about Concord, Mass. banning plastic bottles.
9. “does a black bear use his fur to hide himself” – Well, I dunno but if he does, I’d like to see that.
10. “one-eyed jack bear” – not going there.
11. “obama 150 dollars” – ummmm, errrrrr?
12. “broken stair symbology” – I don’t think I know anything about what a broken stair symbolizes but I would recommend staying off them.
13. “willlive lotery” – you tell me.
14. “does a moose need anything to live” – Really! I kid you not.
15. “skin tight rubber” – ??????
So that’s some of them. As you can see, they all kind of make you go, hmmmmmm.
