I’m starting to wonder whether or not anyone actually reads my blog posts. Despite the fact that I’ve had just over 1,600 in seven weeks (which is quite a lot in my book), I think most of those views are down to pure luck.
A while ago I wrote a post about Halloween and pumpkins. Nothing special there, except I’ve noticed that the majority of the views I get seem to be from people searching on Google for pumpkin pictures. In fact, I’d say about 90% of the search engine terms used to get to my page contain the word pumpkin, and I think people probably realise they’re not on the page they want and then click ‘back’ without reading on.
I’m not complaining because it does mean there’s more chance of my stuff being read, but it is starting to annoy me when I see that people have viewed that post but not others.
I’ve also noticed that people search for some really weird stuff. For example; ‘Kelly Brook’s boobs’, ‘British boobs’, ‘old man pirate’, and ‘cobbled driveway’. My personal favourite though, which has popped up several times, is ‘www.eat my. boobs. com’.
I want to know who these people are!
In other news, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bass player ‘Flea’ has unfortunately lost his mega-expensive house to the Malibu wild fires. I would like to offer him my sympathy and to say that he is always welcome to spend Christmas at my house.
Yes, it is a bit dispiriting when one gets most of one’s traffic from ppl looking for pagan love tattoos, or you discover that somehow the words ‘big’, ‘wobbly’, and ‘bosoms’ have ended up all in the one post.
There’s about ten trillion blogs nowadays, and i know that i only read about five of them, so the odds are not good that anyone will ever read mine.
i guess it’s hard to build an audience from passers-by who are only interested in big wobbly bosoms.
btw, i came here looking for something about bass guitars.
