Word Search

Most people who read my blog end up here either because they know me personally or link to my blog from absolute write or blog catalog or something like that. But the occasional user ends up here in my neck of the woods because of a google search that brought them here. And the more I read these search words that have led people to my blog, the more I have to laugh at what people on the 'net are searching for. Here are some of my favorite search phrases that have led to my blog for one reason or another:


*"Beach Ball Boobs": Hm...I'm not really sure. I did do a boob post a while back, but beach balls, I'm not really sure. Moving on....
*"Learn to Spit": Llamas, spitting, I can see it...but I mean, why do you want to learn to spit? Spit what, saliva? That requires instruction?
*"You suck sayings": I have no idea how this brought you to my blog, and I have no idea what a you suck saying is...but I think it's pretty fabulous that you're searching for it, wherever you are.
* "Goat Boobs": LOL!!!! Someone is looking for goat boobs. The sad fact is, there is so much on the Internet now that if you searched goat boobs, the Internet would probably come back and say, "specify type of goat."
* "Boy Hair": Hm, yes, I remember blogging about Kate Hudson's little boy's hair. But who is looking for boy hair? And what do they want it for? To make a boy hair fur coat? Ok, Cruella!

AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:

* "Chilled boob": I don't think this one even needs any comments. I'm going to just let you all take that one in.


I hope you've enjoyed this look into what brings in the random blog readers. What's the strangest phrase you've ever googled?

PS: I'm told that the string ray poll isn't functioning properly, so if you wanted to cast a vote in the poll and the poll hasn't been working, you can leave your vote in the comments section so it'll be counted...I'm going to tabulate the votes and post about them in the next couple of days, so vote now (And if you have no clue what I'm talking about, slap yourself, kick yourself out of the blog club, apply for re-entry in your head pledging never to fail this blog again, and then go read the April 2 post so that you can get caught up.)

Hey! If I want to search for Goat Boobs, I think that's my personal business, thank-you-very-much! Farm animal teats are a perfectly respectable thing to search for. I could be doing a study on goat lactation--you don't know.

Sheesh, it's not like I went looking for 'Top 10 Things to do with a Kangaroo Carcass' or anything.

LOL, yes, that is true...I suppose if anyone should search kangaroo carcass, I'll be their first stop. Although I am baffled at how the goat boob search landed them here...I haven't done a post on goat boobs yet. Perhaps I should.

I assume you know that by posting such random phrases in your blog that you'll just attract more people searching random things. So, now that we've established the fact that you're trying to attract people who search random things on the internet, my question is "Why?"

I couldn't resist, and actually plugged "beach ball boobs" into The Google to see what came up. Half way down the page, I found a link that included this sentence:

"She's got the big blonde hair, the huger than beach ball boobs, and she sings kind of like a goat."

BEACH BALL BOOBS in the same sentence as GOAT. It's all right there! And who wrote that sentence?

You did. February 27, 2008. Don't try to deny it. By posting about it again today, you're just trying to get your blog further up the results page for "beach ball boobs." Sorry to call you out on this, but The Google only speaks the truth!

colbymarshall said...

Oh, unfocused, I am humbled. What does it say about me that I don't even remember that I wrote that, lol? I mean, now that you say it, I do remember it obviously, but yesterday I was going, "Why did it send them to my blog?" Lol. Pretty bad, huh?

If you search "goat boob" without an "s" you have the top two google listings.

K Trainor said...

BUSTED! With your evil, insidious plot to take over Google rankings! Here, let me help:
Kangaroo Carcass,Kangaroo Carcass, Kangaroo Carcass,Kangaroo Carcass, Kangaroo Carcass,Kangaroo Carcass

No need to thank me, I'm just that kind of twisted genius.

My blog is called Ugly Ass Opinion. The name is a nod to the term Ugly Ass American, and the whole site is decorated in donkeys.

But. You can IMAGINE the search terms I see on my dashboard. YOWSA! I don't even look anymore. I dun'wanna know.

I am taking over the goat boob world! (AGH! I said it again!) K Trainor-- I'd love it if you'd send me a link to your blog; I'd love to check it out.

Sometimes my name links and sometimes it doesn't. Only happens with Blogger blogs. Weird. Anyhoo...
