Google, We Need to Talk, 1st Edition

google1So, as many of you know, Google indexes everything we write. I just happen to have a few applications stashed on my website so that I may monitor how my blog and words are chopped up, stir fry style, and linked out to the information highway. 

I’ve already missed so many good ones that have fallen off the page, so this is as good a time as any to start this new feature. Simply put, I can no longer resist keeping track of the interesting ways my blog shows up, not to mention the sometimes appalling ways my blog is visited via wandering travelers by means of GOOGLE SEARCH~~~

  • All these stats only show up if the person actually visits my site from their Google search
  • Pink, which is the most important part here, is the exact search terms the person typed in to discover my blog as a potential information source
  • Occasionally, I’ll include the main Google page result to illustrate why Google thought I should be included with the search…….
  • Lastly, I just may have something to mention or suggest to the wayward Google travelers……….

Visitor: Elkhorn, Nebraska arrived from google.com on “When did huggable become social grace? « Provocation Of Mine (d)” by searching for hugging in social groups.

Dear Elkhorn, Nebraska~ I’ll hug you. I’m currently in training. Just say yes to hugging.

Visitor: San Diego, California arrived from google.com on “In I Dee Ho, we wrangle Dinosaurs « Provocation Of Mine (d)” by searching for ho name the dinosaurs.

Dear San Diego, California~ I’m sure you meant to say “who” named the dinosaurs and couldn’t have been looking for Ho dino’s. If there were such things as Ho dinosaurs I highly doubt there would have been an extinction. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the Idaho form of Ho dinosaurs. Truly.

Visitor: Houston, Texas arrived from google.com on “Exposed Nerves « Provocation Of Mine (d)” by searching for my teeth nerves are exposed.

Dear Houston Texas~ One word. Vicodin. That is all. Vicodin……….

Visitor: Rockville, Maryland arrived from google.com on “Provocation Of Mine (d)” by searching for teen puts frozen popsicle in ass.

Google Search Result (This is how MY blog ends up #2 in that precious search-notice the highlighted words and you’ll see how Google kindly puzzle pieced me into this one):

 Provocation Of Mine (d)

Robert: ” Your ass does look cute when you stick it way out and away from everyone.” …. Classy civilized behavior I tell ya……………now, I must go put my shoulder on It means mid-week sleepovers and a whole lotta frozen popsicles. …. Teen: “Seriously, Mom, now that you have a mini-laptop, don’t you think it’s

Dear Rockville, Maryland~ I hope you weren’t disappointed to discover Google pieced together 4 blog entries of mine to satisfy your, lets just call it, “Specialized” information search. Might I suggest……oh, nevermind. All the things I could write to do justice to this search situation would just be bad, bad, bad. (second thought, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, let go of the stick)

For today, because I wanted to get the Google Edition ball rolling, most of these are pretty sweet and tame……ok, except that last one. From here on out I’ll safely store the best of them in a draft until I’ve got a decent collection of head scratchers.

I know, I know……the things I do to entertain myself!
