One of the best things about Stat Counter is that along with a free (and ad free) counter for your blog or site, you get a really gnarly personal account where you can go and look at info about the people who visit your site... how long the average visitor stays, what your most popular pages are, etc.

One of the things that Stat Counter saves for you is a list of the search queries that people use at Google, Yahoo, etc... that cause them to end up at your blog.

Sometimes the queries that guide folks to your site make sense. Other times, they might leave you scratching your head.

Here's a quick snapshot of the search queries that have guided folks to my blog just this morning alone:



I mentioned Tommy Desimone, the real mobster that the character Tommy DiVito in Goodfellas was based on, in passing a few months ago.

One reader ended up here after googling the term random car. And, that's good. If there's one thing this blog was designed to communicate to my readers, it's the randomness of cars. There's just nothing more random than a car.

I made fun of Melissa Etheridge's bald head after the Grammies, but BEFORE I knew that she was bald because she had cancer. I'm sooooo glad to see that I get a fair amount of hits from people who are looking for info on Melissa Etheridge's baldness... and that they come to my site, read my snide remarks, and go away thinking what a jerk I am.

I'm glad to see that one reader was lead here by the search terms michael moore fat bastard. I'm sure I've made it clear over the past year that I am very pro-michael moore fat bastard. I'd really like to think that this blog is one of the leading sources for... and proponents of... michael moore fat bastard. Anything I can do to advance the cause of michael moore fat bastard is not too much to ask.

I just want to say that I don't have any idea what "fea sex" is, I don't WANT to know what "fea sex" is, and if I've been getting up in my sleep in the middle of the night and blogging about "fea sex" .... well, I really don't want to know.
