silly googlers

I don't check my blog stats too often, but every once in a while it's interesting to take a look. Checking out search engine keywords is the best part. People search for weird things, and sometimes downright creepy things. I don't necessarily want someone who's searched for "girl taking off shirt through bathroom window" to be checking out my toddler's pictures. I'm also always amazed that almost all search phrases have spelling or grammar errors. What a depressing representation of quality of education. Anyway, imagine my amusement when I came across some real winners from the last couple weeks:

"poo embarrassing moment" This is obviously my favorite. Why would someone search for "poo embarrassing moment"? Perhaps trying to make himself feel better after a snafu of his own? Anyway, that search obviously led to
one of my best posts ever.

"eat one bunch of kale a day" Ha! What a dirty hippy I am. Then again, I couldn't have given better advice myself...

I've had several searches for "princess culture" land on this recent post.
 
Several other searches have ended up at  Oprah's Big Vegan Flop. Most are fairly basic and predictable, but others are quite interesting:

"how to get big as a vegan" I'm not sure if this person meant that literally (like for vegan bodybuilders), or figuratively (as in "get famous" as a vegan). Either way, I'm pretty sure this Googler left my blog with question unanswered.

"how many pounds does minn flops get" Come again??

"why are there big vegetarian?" Um, your grammar sucks, but allow me to answer your question, and I'm assuming that your "big" means "overweight". There are big vegetarians for the same reason there are big non-vegetarians. They don't eat a very healthy diet.

"What are the biggest problems with our food being a product of big business?" Well, at least my Oprah post touched on all of them.

I'll end with another favorite:
"Green grasses just broke through the snow the animals just woke from there long nap through winter"
Wow. Seriously? Why are you googling this, why haven't you learned how to write possessive "their", and how on earth did this search phrase (well, run-on sentence actually) lead to my blog?

Entertaining, right?

    I always know I can come your blog and then leave either laughing so hard I can't breathe or with a great big smile on my face! I need lots of laughter as of late and the poo search made my day that is hysterical well they all are how funny! How can you search to see what people have googled from your posts? I just wonder what they search for on mine hee hee

  4. How fun. I've never looked at my stats in this way. I'll have to check it out. I agree about the creepy thing though. Once in my germaine days of blogging I posted a picture of Deaglan in a toybox and called it Boy in the Box and immediately regretted it. I had creeps from all over the place commenting. I took it down within minutes.

  5. Last week I did a drawing while out of town of a woman at a cafe. She had nice eyebrows and I mentioned it in the text. A whole cool set of connections came from it.

    BUT the funniest thing was a search I saw later that week: 'how do I tell my wife her eyebrows are ugly?'

    When they got to my page I can tell you they didn't get any insights!

  6. Wow! Your search leads are too strange! I always hear about people and their strange search leads, but alas, I don;t have any. The only one I can't figure out is "Debra Winger." I love her, but why would a Debra Winger search lead to my site? Must have mentioned her at some point!
