Search Engines

Peggy, The Very Lazy Gardener, has inspired me to post some of the stats that are recorded by my sitemeter. If I log into my account it tells me the search terms people have used which have brought them to my blog. Here are a few of my favourites:

"chaffinch leg"
"stuck wellies"
"jenny wren bird"
"birds tits"
"yellow hammerhead"

The most popular search which brings people to my blog seems to be "female siskin" and another rather popular one is a search for any type of wallpaper border with a bird design on it!

I used to be top of the list on a Google search for 'female siskin', but for some reason Google hasn't crawled my blog at all this month and I've slipped right down the first page. Google usually crawls every three days or so. Not sure what's happening there!

A few weeks ago, I had a visitor who had found me on page 68 of Turkish Google, unfortunately I cannot remember the search term and it is no longer stored in my stats, but I think it was something to do with Greenfinches. I thought he deserved a medal for going through 68 pages of search results - I rarely look past the first page! And I hope he found what he was looking for!

E-mail me if you want. (found by going to "view my complete profile" there is an e-mail me link there) I am flattered that you've taken an idea and run with it. I've never had a visit from Turkey. We could do a far flung places or oddest google search competition!

Heh, heh! I'll keep an eye on the locations and searches!
