With the newest version of the can’t-praise-it-enough WordPress, we get statistics and some insight into what people are actually doing reading taking fire.
At the moment TF averages between 60-90 hits per day (general upward trend, with a record 96 hits yesterday). Lots of hits are from people coming in to old entries from search engines.
things people search for
People search for very weird, puerile things. And the results frequently point to TF, which probably says something about us. Recent sampling with links to entries:
- sexy boys
- this one was always asking for trouble
- difference between dwarfs and midgets
- bare-assed men
stalkers
And then of course there are the searches for names which have been mentioned on these pages.
- Yvonne Dagan is a popular term on Google, believe it or not. Thanks to bean we are the sole hit on the web for this lady.
- Dave Draper should also be unnerved by the fact that people are searching for him, and coming here.
- Last but not least, I am amazed by the enduring appeal of Eileen Kinnear, a Google search that leads here at least 2 or 3 times every day. Totally justified though.
