The EW Skinny

The Evolving Word is designed for three purposes: miscellaneous rambling (a token gesture, as there are a million sites designed for this), my creative publishing, and thoughts and news on words -- origins, differences, anomalies, etc.

Enjoy it, or not; comment, or not; but do not ignore it. Or ignore it. Whatever.

I Am So Popular
Posted on Tuesday, March 16 @ 10:29 PM PST by joel

As the last post acknowledges, I have been away for a while. After posting a few minutes ago, I decided to drop in on my HTTP referrers. These are other websites that people came from to visit my site. I wrote about this in this story, where I described how devious marketers are using these to boost their Google popularity. I hadn't, until recently, noticed some of the absolutely hilarious search terms used to get to this website. Read more to check out some of my favorite.

SEARCH TERMS USED:

"Pictures of man evolving"
"Meaning of word forensic"
"History of the word COG"
"What religion is the name Joel popular with"
"Oh WOW nickel arcade" - for Jon
"I don't know what I want to do with my life"
"Gallery of evil mathematics"
"Free photos of Long Dong Silver" -- seriously...through AOL search (on the 4th page of 10)
"just like dropping acid"

I love people. They make me laugh.

My Blog Code: B2 d t+ k- s u-- f- i o+ x-- e- l- c-- This site is mine. All of the thoughts here are mine. If you steal anything, you are stealing from me. I really don't like people who steal from me. If I find out that this is happening, I will hunt you down and generally indicate my displeasure in various, probably non-threatening, ways. You really don't want to see that. You can syndicate our news using the file backend.php or ultramode.txt. If you don't know what this means, you probably shouldn't be reading this stuff.
