Referrer tracking
One of the functions of the hitcounter at the bottom of this page is “Referrer tracking.” It keeps a record of all the queries people have entered into search engines and been linked to my blog.
This is a weird and wonderful insight into internet activities.
Some are understandable, given the name of the blog and the information posted down the side: I rate highly on searches for “Exiguus” (naturally) and “Severus Snape.”
But “incredible decorating with junk?” How did that link to me? And why did someone search for it? Or “blog nappy poo” and “nappy discipline?” Who would look for such a thing? And why do they have to come to my site? I really don’t want to know anyone with these inclinations, even if they are discreet about it!
And I haven’t told my dearest about “mouthful wifey” – although I think I should. Preferably from a safe distance…
But my all-time favourite is a search somebody made on Yahoo on Tuesday 10 June at about 0630 GMT: “his hand on her bottom”
If that’s what it takes to find me…
By the way…
Apparently, this is me: “A venerated sage with vast power and knowledge, you gently guide forces around you while serving as a champion of the light.“
“A venerated sage with vast power and knowledge, you gently guide forces around you while serving as a champion of the light.”
Dream on, Gareth! *grin*
I hate to think how anyone would justify ‘mouthful wifey’as a search. And perhaps “his hand on her bottom” is in some lyrics. On second thoughts, having just done a search with that phrase out of sheer curiosity, I think your blog was mistaken for an ‘adult’ story archive, if this is anything to go by:
“The lovely blonde derived extreme pleasure from his hand on her bottom; especially
when it was spanking it, stinging the fullness of those creamy cheeks into a … ”
But it is nice to know that when searching for information on Natural Family Planning thermometers, you are the first stop for all knowledge.

Funny, I never imagined you as two foot tall and green …
I’m Qui-Gon-Ginn apparantly. Well the hair fits, not sure about the beard though …

A strong presence who organizes efforts yet shuns consensus, you strive to educate others for the benefit of your causes.
Nope, that’s so not me!!!!
Fun though!

I’m amazed you didn’t get this one, Gareth…
Severus Snape
An enigmatic recluse with a mysterious past and even stranger loyalties, you are an intensely serious presence.
I don’t expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses…

whois apparently Jean Luc Picard-like

I know what you mean about the searches. In addition to being the web’s biggest resource on cotimundi (well, someone has to be), I’ve also had “women in spandex,” “bench pulls and lbs” and “children doing great things community” – I can’t figure out what these people are truly after!
