TheMommyBlog

Wednesday, July 09, 2008 Fun With Referrals

I haven’t looked at my referrals lately. They are for the most part, predictably uniform. Usually, they involve some combination of keywords like, “mommy,” “mommy blog,” “funny mom blog,” “cool mommy blogs,” “Mindy,” “blogs mommy,” and “themommyblog.”

There are oddballs, like “explaining a absence of work because of motherhood,” “dunk tank pictures 2008,” “not feeling good 3 months after birth,” and “up your skirt.”

Of course, there are always the unspeakable search strings one might expect to see (if one were warped and took the time to think hard enough, so to speak), like “mommy likes boys,” “mommy ass,” “mommy love d***,” and tons others I can’t say because they’d just be a string of asterisks. Suffice to say that I have quite a few mental images I could do without.

But today was the capper. Someone found me while searching for “maggots in ceiling.”

(If you’ve been reading here for a while, you’re probably doing the flappy hand dance. If you haven’t, but just want to do the flappy hand dance, go here. And? Here.)

Ahahahahaha! I found this from a hundred years ago. Well, 2004.

Contrary to what image I may project, I’m here to see who’s out THERE.

I love going through my referrers and meeting all the folks who visit but are quiet or fleeting. Sometimes it leads to big, important discoveries, or messages that need to be broadcast far and wide. Like this one, found at Jacaroo.

These are some of the more sparkling phrases that have been employed to find my blog. I thought about commenting on each one, and then banished that thought, right quick.

And for the record? I don’t know which is funnier: the idea that these folks found me at all, or the fact that for each and every phrase I thought, “Oh. Yeah. I remember that post.”

This will teach me to use asterisks strategically when using phrases I don’t want associated with my prim little family-type blog.

Yes, I know it’s bad editorial practice to follow a nice piece with fluff or crap, but get a load of how people are finding me. Sheesh.
