This week’s top searches

December 6, 2009
By alan

I am so often entertained by the search results that apparently lead people to my website here. I’m a bit of a nerd for stats and searches and things like that, so it’s always a bit of fun for me to check. The top search results leading people here over the last week are:

halloween
grease
robot
robots
dirty dancing

Some of those are no surprise, others a little less obvious at first glance. It’s a bit like the things that might be called out during improv night at a comedy club. Then again, over the last three or four years this website has had many and varied topics and all of those searches will result in hits here.

Other high points for me in recent searches include:

looking for wife
other names for lesbian
halinkas fairies (my wife might have to answer about that one)
muslim black magic
another word for portal
“the embuggerance” (calling Mr Pratchett)

and my favourite of recent weeks:

donkey laugh acronym

Do donkeys laugh? If so, what’s the acronym for it? Someone, please help!

    The only problem is now that you’ve mentioned those terms here using text, this page might come up instead of the “real” page!

    I can live with that – let the searchers be confused!

    You’re not the only one – Anna at Quills and Zebras runs regular search term writing challenges from the ones she finds on her blog.

    That’s a good idea!

    Haha – good call. Referring to a donkey as a Biblical Riding Animal is a bit of a stretch, but I’m prepared to let that go!

    When I posted about underwear recently, my hits shot trough the roof. I got a lot of “girls in thongs”, “little girls in thongs” (wtf?), stuff like that. Granted, I should expect more kinky search terms to lead people to my website and blog, but hell, sometimes it’s a bit scary to see what stuff people search for on the net.

    And now you’ve posted those things on my blog! I’ll await the flood of spam. :)
