So, sitemeter is a delightfully addictive time-waster. Actually, it doesn’t take that much time; in mere seconds you can suss out the various google searches that lead people to one’s blog. A sampling:
The “As I Said to Brad Pitt over Racquetball Last Week…” Searches–aka Name Dropping:
courtney kupets
ayelet waldman oprah
daughters of zelophehad OK they’re not celebs but they rock
twyla tharp projects
Weird Pop Culture Searches
LOTR coiffure I don’t know who you are, but I adore you.
you are so far over the line the line doesn’t exist the line is a dot to you
holy as a day is spent carrie newcomer
sesame street closing credits
thus began our longest journey together
full of piercings
Potpourri
mashed potatoes with blue cheese
how big is a holter monitor
push her to eat
writing liturgy
daughter agony mom
bavarian roofs
clergy blouse
Phrases That Sound Kinda Quirky-Spiritual
kids for poetry
god beyond all names (actually I’ve gotten this one several times)
love is stranger than death
and my favorite…
what happens when the heart misfires?
A Langston Hughes homage, right there in google.

Did I miss your post/explanation about the switch from “curiosities served” to “site meter”?
No explanation really–just was interested in exploring the features of sitemeter. (”Curiosities served” is a basic journalscape feature so it’s still there, but it’s very rudimentary.) For example, sitemeter tracks how many visits, how many views, where they came from, and the length of visit.
Rudimentary? RUDIMENTARY??! And after all I’ve done for you people.
*sob!*
Oh, uh, Kenny! Um, er, I didn’t know you read this blog! sheepish
I have sung your praises many times and even tried to convert my friends who use the quite inferior blogger. Search the archives! Scan the comments! You will see it to be true.
My love for journalscape is legendary.
Excellent, RM. I’m a big fan. I’m also a fan of that Dickie Cronkite…I can’t recommend his blog strongly enough. Truly a man of letters.
I couldn’t agree more about Dickie’s blog–in fact I think there is a plan for a Dickie/RM meeting (with the Mr., and little C)… next week?
Wow, you guys are breaking the fourth wall? Take it from Kenny Smith: That’s gutsy!
If I never turn a profit on this whole Journalscape thing…at least I’ll know I helped bring complete strangers together.
That’s one small step for blogger, one giant leap for blog-kind. Be sure to let everyone know how it goes. (Dickie must look like a total freak in person.)
What am I missing in site meter that allows you to find these google searches? I only find things like time zones. But I have the freebie version.
I do too (freebie version). Although I enjoy blogging enough to put a little money into it, which I have done in donating to journalscape (still trying to make Kenny feel good after my faux pas).
PPB, when you click on sitemeter, check the menu along the left side of the page. Under “recent visitors” is an option, “by referrals.” This is interesting because it shows which page people were on when they clicked to you. I scan the page for any google URLs, then click on that URL and it takes me to the search.
Very amusing.
I guess I have to look harder for time zones. I found the referral thing, but the searches leading to me aren’t as cool as other people’s (she said pouting…).
Mine aren’t nearly as cool either, although I did get one this week for “Hot moms (SFW).”
I don’t think my SFW is what “he” was looking for.
LOL Friday Mom!!!
Also–keep in mind that these searches took place over a two week period or so. So, give it time.
I have some interesting ones:
- “longest sermon” guinness (although the guinness i speak of on my blog is not the Guinness they were searching for)
- the awesomes
- lepper colony hawaii (basically anyone who misspells leper colony gets to my blog)
- hairy dad
- hymn from the movie
- so you’ve decided to renovate your house
- “without my shoes on”
- gang rapped women story blog (the misspelling was from the search. although there is nothing about that sort of thing on my blog, so i’m not sure what random words it pulled together to make my blog a match for that search…)
