Search engine terms, how people found you on Google, Yahoo, Ask, etc, can be a great lesson in humility and good humor. Some people actually make a career out of teaching people how to optimize their search engine results, something that I tend to completely ignore.
Anyway, it can be a bit amusing to see what terms people searched for when they stumbled upon your blog. It’s kind of like a peek into the human subconscious and how the robots interpreted it. LOL, I don’t actually know who found me or how, so your secrets are safe with me. I can just see some common phrases that repeat themselves.
So, my number one search term of all time:
Are Women Insane Why, yes we are! Thanks Google, for sending people to my blog for verification of this fact. Much appreciated.
Next we have,
Seeing Things That Aren’t There Absolutely. Delusions are practically a requirement for crazy people.
Can men have power in relationships. Sadly, no. I’m terribly sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but when you try to have a relationship with a crazy person, you must relinquish all power. (For the snark challenged, that’s a bit of sarcasm. In truth, this one made me kind of sad.)
Why do feminists ignore biology? Honestly, I don’t know, but I’m glad somebody else in the world has noticed this, too. That observation is what lead me to start this blog.
Does water flow. Mostly yes, unless you freeze it. Frozen water doesn’t like to flow. Aren’t you glad you visited this number one rated science blog?
There are many more, but I’ll spare you. Lastly my favorite,
people who can see the beauty in things. Ahhh, search engine bot, I love you. That’s me alright, but I suffer from a special kind of twisted aestheticism. I love the hidden beauty that lies beneath the surface of things and often requires a leap of faith to see.
Regardless of how you found me, thanks to all the people who read and comment. Your perspective is much needed and appreciated.

Funny! Here’s one search for me today “www.very hairy shaving teen arabija”. I’ve even seen “what’s a totsy”. Affirmation that it takes all kinds to make the world go ’round. Or not.

Ever since I posted what has since become my most popular post ever — the one about the first time a little girl showed me her, um, her, well, you know, her private parts — the most frequent search terms on my blog have been the various synonyms, euphemisms, and slang for both the male and female genitalia. And it’s interesting that so few people seem to have mastered the spelling of the actual name for the female thingie when searching for it..

Funny, funny post IB. The search term :”Does water flow” brought back a funny memory. I used to work as a business analyst for the IT dept of a major retailer. As such I was involved in writing the product spec for new computer programs that were in development. As we worked on a program, managment was always making changes in what they wanted from the program. As a program went into development there came a critical sign off point at which no futher changes were to be made. This is called “Freezing the Code” Even though all agreed that no further changes were to be made once the code was frozen, management just kept on making chamges. I, of course, had the somewhat dubious honor of telling the 12 developers, who wrote the computer code, that the expectations had changed once again. ,One day after a particularly onerous change by management, as we wrapped up our daily meeting, one of our quietest developers approached me and asked if he could see me in his office. I followed him through the maze of the head office to his office and as I enetered, he said “See that?” and pointed to a plaque hung in a place of honor on his wall. It read: “Walking on water and writing code are both easy – as long as both are frozen.” Ha! Point taken.
Great Post IB Thank You.

Hilarious! Personally, I just found you through the askthebigot blog – your blog was listed as one of the ones she follows…or maybe I saw a comment you made on one of her posts? Regardless, that’s about how it happened. No interesting search engine terms from me, I’m afraid. 🙂

I found you by way of a comment on a Alec Nevala-Lee post. The combination of name, blog title and gravatar ( can not go wrong with Alice) drew my attention 😀
Recently Tagalog movies in combination with Tanka & haiku seems to draw people to two of my blogs. Now vampire squid & BBQ perogies and mushroom mystery rooms I can understand, but Tagalog is a bit confusing – I am a retired secondary school teacher from a small community in Northern Ontario Canada. 😀
