One of the interesting side effects of blogging is that my content is well-indexed by Google and the other search engines, and my reporting service shows me exactly which search terms drive people to my site. Most of my search referrals come from terms you might expect (my name, my company name, common marketing terms, the names of people and companies I mention in my posts) but sometimes the search terms are more interesting :-) Here are a few of my recent favorites (yes, these are real Google searches that landed people on my blog):
bald marketing blog for which I actually show up as the TOP TWO results, beating out even Seth Godin, who appears in the number ten spot!!! (actual results as of this posting)
evil verdino for which I practically dominate the top ten (sad and scary...)
views of sociologist on marching band which seems like a really strange thing for anyone to be interested in,
yakkity yak which I suppose is a propos,
and diarrhea commercial. Nice!
I guess it's true what they say (although I'm not sure anyone has actually said this): you are what you write...
