I like finding where people come from to my site. The obvious places are links on websites, my signature on forums, etc. The other neat thing is to see what people typed in Google to stumble upon my website!
This month, someone typed in “Star Wars medichlorines” and apparently saw a link to my site and clicked on it. I can’t remember that I ever posted about it, but apparently I did. The page straight from Google is this:
CLICKY!. As I realised it was my Starcraft 2 hype post.
The link was on page 5 (of the Google search).
Its weird how people stumble upon my site. During the Harry Potter 7 craze, I created a mockup of how the book will end and that month I got the most hits from Google (ever)!
——————————–
So, everyone uses Google (search that is), but if you don’t find something after about the 5-7 page, you try to “optimise” your search. So, no one really knows what the nether regions of a Google search looks like.
I typed in “Roach Toaster” and I was astonished not to find orcs and dwarves dwelling in there!
This is interesting links I found:
Page 3 (just out of town):
Page 9 (the deep woodlands):
A christmas carol (look at 311 downwards)
Some blog . Uses an awesome pun: “appROACHable”.
Page 59 (the swamps of death level 5):
Some guy talks to his toaster.
Page 78 (the end of the world):
The Taming of the Screw . WTF?
