Google

Sometimes I entertain myself with checking out my referrals on my site stats and saturday night was one of those times. Sheesh...that sounds pretty sad when I read it in a sentence. Obviously, I need a life. But until then I will continue to share the Google searches that land people on this blog.

Yesterday brought an onslaught of John Mayer searches. This is the first of the several "John Mayer Sucks" searches. I'm surprised to see me at #7 out of 601,000 hits. I am even more surprised at what people write about him. That first one calls him "the most hideous purveyor of musical..." - however the sentence ended, it sounds pretty harsh to me. And I do not endorse any suckage against Mr. Mayer.

The second John Mayer Sucks search was "John Meyer sucks" yes, his last name was spelled wrong...on that one I was #2 out of 3.27 million - wow, I feel like I won the lottery...

And the worst John Mayer search from yesterday was "John Mayer Dead"...dude, I think you would have heard if he was dead. However, I am #5 out of 1.83 million. Not bad.
In other searches, a person in Poland found me by searching "in hollywood they'll give you 1 million dollars for a kiss" - Where is the 'they' that will do this...I am puckered and ready...cash only, please. Of course, I hit #1 on that search.
And finally, from Italy, someone searched "Debbie fucks around with her twin" landed on my blog...cause I talked about 'twins' in a post, used the word 'fucking' in reference to the artiness of a photo I took, and the word 'around' in a completely different post and the word 'her' in yet another post. No reference to 'Debbie' or 'with'. Just 'twins fucking around her'.

To all of you, I really don't care how you got here...I'm just happy you are here.

How You Found Me

Most of the traffic that finds its way to my little cul de sac on the world wide web each day is -- crap, I forgot the buzz word -- is, is, is...what do they call traffic that's new?

And of that whatever-it's-called traffic, most comes through google image searches. The most popular picture that brings people to this blog has nothing to do with my book, but it just happens to be one of my favorite pictures that shows up eventually if you search headshave...

I'd say the most-searched musician from Everybody I Shot Is Dead. is Terry Kath. Then there are the waves, where there's no search on a particular musician for a while and then suddenly there's a barrage. I'd understand it if it corresponded to the musician's birth or death day but it doesn't. Today's interest fell on Tim Buckley.

But my favorite searches are the one's that are looking for something that has nothing to do with me or my book. Let me see if I can find a few examples from the past few days...

1. Pictures of Dead Babies or Baby Delivery Pictures - By far the most popular. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would want to see a picture of a dead baby. I'm sure they're surprised when they end up on THIS PAGE. Ha ha...bet they weren't expecting that.

2. Kitchen Mites - This is a close second. And I'm happy to report that my blog performs a service by providing extremely valuable information to those in need. This search will land you HERE.

3. Brain Surgery - It's obvious why I get this one since I have reported on Jaimie's brain surgery ad nauseum, and it comes in all kinds of forms. Here's some recent ones: if you want to be a brain surgeon do you have to work on dead people - doctor headshave - sleepy after brain surgery - what are my risks of a 5 and a half hour surgery. I sincerely hope that each and every one of these searches found something helpful.

My favorite keyword search from today was shoot every body on the suitelife. In case you don't watch Saturday morning TV, the Suite Life is a kid's show about twin boys who live in a hotel. Yes, I have watched it on more than one occasion...I have no idea why. And I get that the show could be considered annoying, but wanting to shoot everybody on the show? Well, that's just not right. Is it?

I have to say, that what's really disconcerting is that my blog is the first item that comes up when potential murders target Zac and Cody on The Suite Life...I'm not kidding...

Oh, and thanks to whoever mentioned my Rory Gallagher tribute on the rorygallagher.com message board yesterday. Much appreciated.
