How Did you Find Me?
Tuesday, April 01, 2008
Once a month, I go through my Google Analytics to see how many hits I've been averaging. For the most part it remains pretty consistent. On occasion, I like to look for trends. How did someone in Estonia find my sight and why are they coming back for more?
Analytics actually helped us once when the buyer for our last house mysteriously backed out of the sale 4 days before closing. His realtor, his mortgage person and he lied by saying he had funding problems, but we knew better as he had already been pre-approved. Because he had a good excuse to back out, we were required to give him back his deposit. Needless to say, at 3 months pregnant, it was a stressful time as we were left to scramble around and come up with some creative financing to be able to close on our current house. I didn't know until 30 minutes prior to closing that we were approved. We also had to carry two mortgages for several months. *ouch* That being said, we Googled the buyer, found out where he worked, and were able to track the day that he hit both of our blogs. He ended up reading something he didn't like about the neighborhood (the power of the internet) and tried to unethically get out of the contract. We were able to confront his realtor with the facts and they ended up admitting to their lie and we got to keep his money, which didn't even begin to cover our losses. I think my exact vengeful words were "Google works two ways Mofo!" (See what a family friendly site we are now?)
That was a long tangent to get to what I really want to talk about, which are search strings that people enter to find this site.
Top search strings:
1) The most popular string is: "Love of Mine, Someday You will Die" which goes back to a post I did about one of my favorite Death Cab for Cutie Songs. Who knew that so many people would find this site from one line of lyrics?
2) All things bee: beehive, beehive cake, beehive hairdos, bee keeping: These people must be surely unhappy when they come and find out that there is really nothing to do with what they are looking for.
3) Pabst Blue Ribbon baby onsie, Pabst Onesie, etc.: Ooops, maybe I should not have called the PBR booties so tacky. There are actually quite a few people out there who are looking for them.
4) Ultrasound big head, big headed baby, baby ultrasound overbite: Poor Hadley got such a bad rap.
5) Boobies full of milk, milky jugs, engorged jugs: Ahhh the joys of nursing. Not exactly the fetish filled site they were looking for, I suspect.
6) Christy wears diapers, Christy Pee pics, Girls who enjoy pooping their panties in public, I was incontinent in my knickers today blog, fat girls pooping and pissing, and cheerleader crotch shots: Gawd knows what I wrote about to end up in these search strings, but I actually feel bad for the guys that are lonely on a Friday night, who have gone out and picked up some mountain dew and porn at the 7 eleven, and are getting settled in at the computer, ready for hot girly action, and instead they find excessive baby pics and diaper talk. Nothing like a cold shower.

Ha ha ha ha HA! Girls who enjoy pooping their panties in public!
My google analytics tells me which town the person on my blog is from, but not so exact as a building. Or were you going on the city the buyer was in?
Anyway I am so glad you got the deposit back!
That last one nearly made this girl pee her pants...albeit not in public.
HAHA. Maybe you can start charging those horny college boys to visit your site and begin a college fund for the baby.
Joy - we happened to google and find out where he worked and saw that his work had hit our blog the day before he backed out. DG and I had to research it a bit to figure it out though.
Marc - If only I could come up with a money making scheme on this one. I might have to have a week's worth of posts about how girls pee themselves. Baby girls that is.
These posts are getting heated. Kinda like hot pee running down your leg. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
