For me, one of the best parts of using website tracking tools is seeing some of the odd keyword searches that have led people to my blog or website. Some are just entertaining. Others leave me wondering, "What in Jeebus’ name was this person hoping to find?"
My short story "Love Spells" once received a rather snarky rejection that said the story was a few tweaks away from becoming a trashy bodice ripper. So in a few entries on my blog (I was using Blogger at the time), I referred to the story as "my would-be trashy bodice ripper." Since then, the most popular keyword search leading to that blog has become, not my name, but "ripped bodice" or variations thereof. One of my favorite variations is "what is inside a ripped bodice." I mean, really? You have to ask? Equally entertaining were the keyword searches for "tortured ripped bodices" and "reaped bodice."
Here are some of the other strange and entertaining keyword searches that have led folks to my internet babblings:
- viking bunnies of doom
- how do i make my words big?
- thing guess
- incoherent sentences exercises
- screwing barbara stewart
- death star slug
- wackiness august 29
- i am slug
- musicophilia galactica
- how to avoid pesky holes
- castrated husbands
Anyone else have entertaining keyword searches of their own to share?
