Strange, Weird and Funny Search Phrases (Feb 2010)
When you have a website and you start receiving search engine traffic, it can sometimes be rather surprising or even funny to look at some of the search phrases people are using to arrive at your site, quite often they must leave disappointed as the page they end up looking at can be quite removed from what they were clearly looking for!
With that in mind, I recently saw a blog post over at Piggynap in which Zoe showed us some of the best search terms her site in the last month, so I thought I’d do a similar thing here on my blog showing some of the strange, weird and funny search phrases people have used on our sites in the last month, so here they are and which pages they sent people to!…
Simon Barker
“is zath good?” – why of course Zath is good, in fact it’s great, I think you should visit it on a daily basis! Perhaps I should put that on the Simon Barker homepage?
“naked men jigsaw puzzle” – hmmm, not really something I want to spend too much time thinking about! This Jigsaw Puzzle For Sale page probably ended up being a little too tame for them?
“im looking for simon barker” – are you indeed? Well here I am, but I wonder if they found what they were looking on the Simon Barker Naked page?
Gadgets For Men
“dog-end or cloth-cat or sharp-end or bbq sword” – what a strange combination of things to be looking for! At least you found one of them by ending up at the BBQ Sword (Big Barbeque Sword) page!
“turd usb sticks” – I never realised there was a market for these things, perhaps it’s something I should branch out into, it’s certainly different from a Hacked USB Memory Stick!
Tech-Styling
“gadget for counting lots of people” – I’m not sure if this person will have got what they wanted really, you can’t really fit many people in this Money Counting Machine Jar!
“how to put dyson ball vacuum together” – Uh oh, it looks like someone’s been taking things to bits again that perhaps they shouldn’t have, I bet it seemed like such a good idea after those beers last night too! Perhaps you need to just buy a new Dyson Ball Vacuum afterall?
Hooray! My favourite is “dog-end or cloth-cat or sharp-end or bbq sword” because I have absolutely no idea what any of those things are :p
I told you that you had a good idea didn’t I! :)
Yeah it’s weird, it seems like the more varied your content you write about, the better the possibility for these kind of long-tail searches, it amused me looking through my analytics to find these anyway!
