great post…. i also find search terms hilarious. one that happens daily is “dirty country girls”. i don’t think they find what they are looking for when they click over to my site. the way google puts search terms together is strange…..

Funny. If I had a blog, my terms would be something like: “Frankenstein computers” or “guitar named Lizzy.”

Funny post; look forward to seeing you in two days!!!

The most clicked-on image on my blog is a picture I put up over a year ago of my chewed fingernails. It kind of makes me cringe.

You have much more fun search terms than I.

I see my stats go up, but it is also just more on my blog each day. There is just more there to search I guess.

I look every once in a while, but don’t have a counter I pay for that records any more then the basics.

One reoccuring search term that I get hits from is “whale poop” and “what does whale poop look like.” I have to giggle!

I am promoting a special cause this week, so stop by if you have a chance. Shannon

I hear this same story from other bloggers and think it’s odd that I can usually figure how my key word searchers came to my site. Some of mine are funny enough but not as far out as yours. There was a period when my spammers had the best names that I wanted to collect them and name grandchildren after them.

I think the whole blog world activity has been slow in the last couple of months. Or is it just me and you? I regularly check and have noticed a downward trend. We got to keep growing the economy!!

Can you hear me LOL??? I screwed up my link even when I was trying to fix it! I’m blaming it on early morning fog

I guess I’m hopeless…I just realized this morning that when leaving my comment yesterday I still forgot to change my URL! I’ve come back to do it. Perhaps in the next one this corrected one will show up automatically…

Wesley: How funny that, of all your lovely photographs, that Plott Hound and Pile of pierogi would be your most popular photo searches! I love the “poopy baby” search! It is obviously related to the “Things I learned about motherhood.”

And, by the way, just in the past hour, people used these search engine terms to find my blog:

“tree bark spirits”
“dragonfly tongue”
“deep understanding of the human heart”

I love it!

What makes me wonder are the image searches that bring people to my blog. I can’t see the terms they used to search for a photo, just the photo that comes up and the title I gave it. The photos that come up the most often: one of Paul that I titled “Handsome sweetie”; one of Owen that I titled “Beautiful girl” (that one makes me cringe a bit worrying about creeps); one of our temporary foster dog (the Plott Hound post is the most searched one ever on my blogs); and, believe it or not, one of a pile of pierogi at Christmas.

I get a lot of South Beach Diet searches since we were on that a while (and now you will, too, since I put it in your comments).

More recent searches on mine:
“Things I’ve learned about motherhood”; “Raleigh expat”; “poopy baby”; “instructions to landscape spring”; “kinds of animals found in Blue Ridge mountains”.

Not quite as poetic and interesting as your searches.
