Ever take a moment to look into your Blog Stats? Usually the only ones I pay attention to are the milestones like the 300th post, the anniversaries, etc. After a look at mine, I came to one conclusion. If I were to go by mine I’d be concerned about my deviant one tracked mind. Although I like to think that my posts are pretty diverse and eclectic, it became very clear based on my results that sex sells….
When I first started blogging The Foraging Photographer created a poem post using the search stats that led people to her page. I thought it was pretty neat, but hadn’t really been around long enough to have anything interesting to share.
Then my buddy Phil from The Regular Guy NYC blog did a hilarious post on what his Spam Box means to him. When I told him that I usually delete my spam box immediately once I filter out the non-spam posts that might have gotten caught in the net, he told me I was missing a golden opportunity. Eh, he may be right…but he has no idea what search words lead people to my blog…LOL!
Having said that, I thought I’d share some of the searches that have led folks to me since I opened this blog last year in August:
Household sex toys -310 (lots of different variations of the words…and if you add gender specific to men/women, add another 20)
School Sexy – 136 times (Is it just me or does this imply that either schools are sexy or that folks are into sexy school aged kids? I’m hoping maybe it was the whole “catholic schoolgirl uniform” thing and not an interest in the young ‘uns.)
Sexy Older Men – 68 times (Self explanatory…really.)
Attitude Reflects Leadership – 59 times (One of the best quotes from Remember The Titans.)
Erotic Shaving – 19 times (Hey, this can be a lot of fun. Somehow I think this may be tied to my post about “grooming”)
The 5 Strangest ones?
zoophilia -Sex with animals? Seriously? Wow. I don’t even know what this has to do with my blog or what post it may have led them to.
I wish I was a young beautiful sexy Vulcan female with a sexy Vulcan English accent -I didn’t realize Vulcans had English accents, but hey, it’s all good.
woman said shave me bald for sex –I’m completely unsure about the context on this one. Was the woman asking to be shaved bald? If so, did she mean down below? (gosh, I hope so.) Or was she telling her guy the only way she’d have sex with him was if he got shaved bald? If so, which part of the anatomy was she talking about? Inquiring minds wanna know!
sexy talk with my aunty -This is just plain creepy.
can you suck nipples with braces -Although I suspect I know what this person means, I am choosing to misunderstand and wonder why this person’s nipples have braces. 😉
So which blog posts do these connect to? Here are the top 5.
Common Household Items Making Playtime FUN! (893 views)
Need Some Old School Sexy? (399 views) -Oddly enough, this has nothing to do with schools.
Sexy Older Men? Yes, Please! (325 views)
“Attitude Reflects Leadership” And Other Life Lessons (262 views)
Sexy Men Of HGTV (179 views)
The honorable mention goes to one of my personal favorite posts… Awkward Emergencies And Other Hilarious Moments with 155 views.
Having said that, I figured I’m in a “Sharing the love” kind of mood. In the comments, feel free to leave a link to the most popular post to your blog…and I’d really enjoy hearing about some of the searches that have lead to you (I don’t care if it’s your most unusual or most popular).
So have at it! Share what’s drawn people to you.
Awesome, funny, and scary all at the same time-your search terms are way more interesting and entertaining than mine!

Ah, well, I definitely am not surprised at the responses to BDSM. LOL! I know that awards are cool to get. Sometimes the pure volume of awards can be off putting. Not in a bad way. Just overwhelming at trying to get them all done.

A lovely idea Kitt. Thank you for “sharing the love”! My most popular post as of today, June 3, 2013…hands down, no contest with 8,118 views: Sexual & Gender Ambiguity: My Once Gross Ignorance…
This close family friend of ours completely overhauled & turned upside down forever my outlook on the entire human race, bigotry, & hate-crimes. It hasn’t been an a legitimate argument for years now, yet hate & bigotry continue.
Nevertheless, thanks Kitt for this opportunity & your “love”. 🙂

Wow. As always, I found your arguments compelling. That you even have to “argue” such simple things as human kindness and acceptance at all is very sad. Regardless, your post was quite educational & I hope people who read it learn something along the way that opens their eyes.

Many thanks Kitt. However, I hope the “compelling-ness” for readers comes as a result of how intimate & close this INCREDIBLE woman/man (like that ultimately must be decided!?)…androgynous in her/his soul(?)…was for my (standard/normal) Mom’s mental & emotional health, AND saving my sister so many times from horrible crime-scenes, perhaps death! And our society treats HER/HIM (our close inter-sexed friend) as sub-human!? Forget the growing scientific & medical data & results! That is simply MORE icing on the cake!
See how “passionate” I get about it? LOL 😉

I’ve seen a few bloggers do that – work their spam or search terms. Ever since I introduced Immortal Monday mine haven’t been that interesting. My leading search term is still on the old blog since the new location is still struggling to find its way. Voldemort, or some version there of comes in at number one, at a total of (are you ready for this?) 21,113 searches. Crazy, I know. I found you through fellow bloggers and not a search.
