My Stats: An Update

Periodically I like to scroll through the Stats section of my blog, mainly to see who has been stopping by and what the devil they googled to find me.

It never fails to amuse.

There is an entire twenty piece box of information McNuggets in the Stats section, people. It tells me keywords or phrases that have been plugged into Google as well as a list of different countries that have stopped by my blog. Lots and lots of info is kept on my Stats page and periodically I like to pull those nuggets out one by one for a closer examination.

A few people googled "winner winner chicken dinner". This doesn't surprise me, as it is a popular phrase. What I find amusing is that thirty-three people did this search last month and were directed to my blog. Those poor, misguided souls. They had no idea that they were going to be treated to a story about my conversation with a dead chicken that I named Tabitha.

There was a hit on "fish spazzing before death". I find this equal parts amusing and creepy. I'm not sure what the googler was hoping to find. A video of a fish flipping around a boat and gasping for it's last breath perhaps? Man, that's gross. And it's kinda creeping me out. My massive fish spazz-fest had nothing to due with a fish flipping around a boat. It was partially due to tossing a half-dead minnow on myself. The other part was due to the fact that I was wearing Mom jeans from Target when tossing a half-dead minnow on myself.

The google keyword phrase that I find the most puzzling is "pictures of spongebob chicken noodle soup". It's true. I did post a picture of ol' Spongy and his soup back in December. But I'm not sure as to why someone else would google that topic. I've decided that people are weird. This profound statement is brought to you courtesy of the person who talks to dead chickens, goes full on freakazoid when a minnow touches her, and takes pictures of soup.

It should come as no surprise that most of my readers are from the United States, what with me being an American and all, but I've had a few readers from Germany in the last couple of weeks. Perhaps I'm big in Germany. That'd be pretty sweet. Though I wouldn't be as big as David Hasselhoff. I don't think anything is bigger in Germany than the 'Hoff. Well, Volkswagens maybe. Oh, and beer. I'm guessing beer is pretty popular in Germany.

In the Stats section, there is a list of referring sites to my blog. Most of the time, the referring sites are pretty straightforward: Facebook, Networked Blogs, Google, and my friend Emily's blog. There was one oddball referring site though. For some inexplicable reason, acidrefluxcausessymptoms.info referred someone to my blog. This referral is a stumper, folks. Have I ever talked about acid reflux with you all? I don't think I've ever mentioned it on my blog. It's times like this when I have to ask 'What piece of the puzzle fell out of the box here?'

The Stats section. It's as informative as it is amusing. In the interest of full disclosure, I didn't scroll through the Stats section out of idle curiosity just to see who'd been stopping by. A small part of me did it to avoid cleaning the bathrooms.

I would gladly don a hot pair of Mom jeans and touch a thousand minnows to avoid bathroom cleaning duty. Pin It Now!
