Search terms

Posted: Dec 6, 2006 at 9:41 AM

I was looking through my server logs yesterday and checking out the search terms people coming to my site from search engines had used. It’s always good for a chuckle — yes, if you’re a big geek like me. One of the queries jumped out at me this time, though: my husband doesn’t love me. I did a quick Google search myself and, sure enough, my home page was listed at #44. Now, up until a couple sentences ago my blog didn’t even use the term “husband,” but likely I still rank on the term because of all the links from my wife’s site that point to me.

I’m not sure which is more disturbing, really… that my site comes up on that search or that someone was actually doing that Google search.

Don’t feel bad. I wrote an entry about washing my car called “In Need of a Hand Job”. Can you guess my #1 search term for the next 6 months?

And now, Ken, you sly dog: your comment now ups the odds for Porter to take the title away.

Porter Glendinning, This has NOTHING to do with this comment but, I have the same last name as you. I am listed in that site you had that had Email-Adresses on your old site of the Glendinning Family.
