From time to time, I like to scope out my WordPress stats pages and see how this site is faring on the Intarwebz. Monitoring traffic is fine, and sometimes there are a few surprises when I realize who’s reading this blog and not commenting.
But what keeps me coming back to this is the list of search engine terms leading to this blog. As if I didn’t know already, I write about weird stuff, and that brings weird people to this blog. Thank god they keep their mouth shut, too, because I wouldn’t want to talk to any one of these freaks. (Although, to be fair, it does look like we have a lot in common.)

I think it’s official: I have the greatest blog in existence.
To be fair, every one of those searches was conducted by me.
A quick glance at my stats shows that somebody found my page today with “hiding poop smell.” Beat that, Mssr. Schaefer.
Mr. Architect,
haha that’s hilarious… so proud of you for the best blog ever.com
kisses, Gem
@Mike: I know I should have believed you immediately, but I tried it out, and lo and behold, your blog was 4th on my Google results page.
I’m just thrilled that someone is searching the internet for “vikings fighting aliens.” Really gives me hope for the fate of humanity, with insatiable minds like that.
Oh yeah?
(I admit that my stats in recent times aren’t nearly as interesting. I get a lot of hits for “great gatsby” + “homosexuality” and also for the farting preacher, but that’s about it)
See, I purposely chose to post a screenshot because I didn’t want to game the stats. But perhaps I should reconsider.
I am indeed thoroughly jealous that I’ve failed to recognize the value of the “christian mouthbreathers” query. People searching for that is definitely a demographic I want to hook.
I marked out when I saw that too. I think the aliens would have an immediate advantage (what with their technology and their space-rays), but that the Vikings would be more trouble than the aliens expected. In the end, the aliens would withdraw from a stalemate with much respect for their gritty Viking opponents.
I guess the real question, then, as much as I hate to admit it, is what the outcome of “aliens versus Normans” would be.
you are so odd. and i love you for it.
keep in mind, you’d have one less hit if it weren’t for me.
