Analytics

I figure it's been long enough since the last Google Analytics post to justify a new one. The last "Analytics" post was in September; I'll only be counting keyword searches since then.

Since, September 24th of last year, search engines have generated 1,060 visits to this blog, via 724 keywords (or keyword combinations).

As usual, the runaway leader of search engine hits is a hefty conglomeration of keywords from people looking for information about rag quilting. (If you're here for that very reason, allow me to direct you to Sew I See, my sewing/related subject blog, where I've consolidated the rag quilting posts from this blog, in addition to more recent sewing-themed entries.)

However, though far behind rag quilting, there was a new contender for top honors-- "snake eggs", "black rat snake eggs", "eggs in mulch", and variations on that theme. It seems that there are quite a few people out there finding snake eggs in their mulch, including one who evidently found twenty eggs in his/her mulch! (Here's the relevant entry.)

Here are some (ok, lots) of the other keywords:

• "swedish candy" --Wonder what kind, specifically...
  
• "cockapekapoo"/"cock-a-pek-a-poo"
• "does anyone breed cockapekapoo puppies" --I imagine so, but maybe not very many breeders.
  
• "moonbeamers cartoon" & related
  
• "narcolepsy more causes_risk_factors"
• "somali pirate situation"
• "doggonevideo"
• "husqvarna pronunciation"
• "tilt shift video how to"
• "itchy palms more causes_risk_factors"
• "numb fingers more causes_risk_factors"
• "sarah michaels milk & honey" --Several people came here again during this period, looking for that line of products-- and it's been how long since they stopped making it? Wonder how much I'd get for my partly used-up container, on eBay. ;o)
• "why was sarah michaels discontinued" --I don't know. Life is hard, sometimes. (g)
  
• "'st. john rivers' pronunciation"/"how do you pronounce st john rivers" --It's pronounced "sin-gin". Weird, huh?
• "why is st john pronounced as sin jin" (at least three variations on this one) --It's a cruel joke the Brits like to play on unsuspecting foreigners. (g) Seriously, my guess is that it came about because it is easier/faster to say than "Saint John". If you try to say "Saint John" quickly, "SinJin" isn't such a stretch. Eventually, everyone just pronounced it that way all the time. (But this is only a theory.)
  
• "blogspot he is nearsighted and needs glasses" --Huh?
  
• "blue-gray skin" --Ah, yes, the blue-skinned man...

• "concerto for harpischord, strings & continuo no. 5 in f minor" --Very specific!
• "'gentler' in a sentence"/"a sentence for gentler"
• "glammas and granddudes"/"names the grampster"

• "'meatballs - the movie'" --Never even seen it, as far as I can recall.
  
• "'national turn off the tv day'"
• "'oklahoma' and 'unexplained rumbling'" --You get that in OK, too?
  
• "'people on welfare shouldn't be allowed to vote'" --Well, I do think there's an argument to be made for some voting regulation-- at least in cases of those who are persistently on welfare with no legitimate reason.
