Hit Addiction and Obscure Searches

I'm addicted to Google Analytics. I check it everyday to see how many people are reading, how people are finding me etc. I am obsessed with my visitor count. It's not the reason why I do this, but it's a great motivator. If I know people are reading consistently, then I am more willing to stick to my guns and give them a reason to return.

Google Analytics is also rad because you can see how random people find you through search engines. First off, I'm known to search for some crazy things. Granted, it's usually just to send a Ralph Tresvant picture to my friend Jared or a Richard Simmons photograph to send to my other friend Chase (The dude has an unhealthy obsession with Sweatin to the Oldies). However, I would have never guessed how some people stumbled upon my blog.

The following are actual searches that produced my blog as results and then visited by the searcher:

• "Boobs on the Ground"
• "Brawls with Boobs"
• "picture of big fat guy with man boob sweat"

Boy, that last guy sure was specific. I bet all these boob dudes are disappointed when they find this blog . . . or maybe not. Gotta love the internet.
