One of the features of WordPress is that, although I can’t see who comes to visit the blog, I can see what phrases people typed into search engines that got them here. I realize that most of the people weren’t actually searching for my blog, but when they searched, they clicked the link and came to visit.
I always get a kick out of the things people searched for and can’t help wondering, sometimes, what exactly they hoped to find.
Some are pretty straightforward:
“Amy Bozza”
I’m guessing that person was looking for me, but I’ve googled myself and there is also an Amy Bozza who participated in a marathon somewhere called Spring Lake, and I’m sure there are many more of us, worldwide, so I won’t be so self-important to assume it was me they were looking for.
“saddle shoes”
Probably looking for some cute shoes and came across last week’s Five Question Friday about what outfit from the past I wish I could wear.
“Eddie Rabbit”
Love that someone typed in “Eddie Rabbit” and they came to my blog.
If he was still alive, he could have googled himself and came here!
Or not.
“monkey amy love”
Hmmm…starts to get interesting here.
A girl named Amy who loves monkeys?
Someone who loves a monkey named Amy?
This blog?
Hard to tell, hard to tell.
“girl smiling with braces and one leg”
Okay.
Not sure how this led them here, but it’s an interesting thing to search for, nonetheless.
“Alicia Bridges accent”
Love this one, and Erin knows why.
And here are some others that make me giggle, smile and sometimes wonder “What the heck?”
“Pork chops and applesauce, ain’t that swell?”
“Handcuff nurse”
“Zasto va golim”, which is, apparently, Serbian for “Why I Love Him” which, in Serbian has been searched for 3 times to get someone here and 53 times in English.
“Full Diapers”
“I am a glutton for the cane”
“Microwave phrases”
“Took an old thumb”
“Toilets Home Depot”
And, my favorite…
“قلم” (which, apparently, means “fountain pen”)
